Hi Folks,
Please let me know how to use FONT and FONTINDEX to handle different fonts. I got 133 record length and I need a different font for first 3 address lines and need different fonts for other detail lines ...etc.
I got the list of fonts and I am not sure exactly to handle the fonts at line level. I am using the following DJDE..
| Code: |
$DJDE RTEXT=('$REPORT=INVOICE TITLE=DEDUCTIBLE REIM
$DJDE TOF=4,BOF=60;FONTINDEX=(0,ZERO),DATA=(1,133),COPIES=1;
$DJDE OTEXT=(' **** LOAD LANDSCAPE ****',1,WAIT),;
$DJDE OTEXT=(' **** THIS JOB IS DONE ****',END,WAIT),;
$DJDE FONTS=(K05F0L),SHI=NO,;
$DJDE BEGIN=(1.5 IN,1.5 IN),DUPLEX=NO,;
$DJDE ASSIGN=(1,3),ASSIGN=(4,25),ASSIGN=(3,49),;
$DJDE RTEXT=('DISTRIBUTION INSTRUCTIONS:
$DJDE RTEXT=(' JOB NUMBER 99999
$DJDE RTEXT=(' DEDUCTIBLE REIMBURSEMENT INVOICES
$DJDE RTEXT=(' HOLD THESE DOCUMENTS AT PRNTR FOR MAILING
$DJDE END; |
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Raja

If I recall correctly, the first byte of the record (fontindex n) contains the relative number of the font specified in the font=(font1,font2,...). Each line is printed in the font relative to the index.
The actual length of the record becomes 134
pos 1 is print control character (ansi or machine code)
pos 2 id the font index
pos 3 thru 134 is the actual data to be printed |

I looks to me like this line:
$DJDE TOF=4,BOF=60;FONTINDEX=(0,ZERO),DATA=(1,133),COPIES=1;
defines that there is a font index table, and that it starts in the first position of the data (offset=0) and starts from 0.
and that this line:
$DJDE FONTS=(K05F0L),SHI=NO,;
defines the order of the fonts to match the index. |

Superk is on to something; faulty memory on my part.
$DJDE TOF=4,BOF=60;FONTINDEX=(0,ZERO),DATA=(1,133),COPIES=1;
indicates that pos 1 is the fontindex number, pos 2 is the print control character and pos 3 - 134 is the print line data
$DJDE FONTS=(K05F0L),SHI=NO,;
should become
$DJDE FONTS=(font1,font2,font3,font4,...,fontn),SHI=NO,; |

Please forget about my code and tell me how to change for few lines of report. I gave my sample code only. This code is not working for font switching.
I have a record length of 133. First byte is for carriage controls. Data is 132 length. I want to have one font for first 5 lines and the rest of the lines, I want another font. Again to change the font at the bottom of the report for totals.
Please suggest me a code for this using FONTINDEX or whatever in DJDE.
Customer Name
Customer Address
Address
City
State and zip
Report line1
line2...
Total amount due..$99,999,999.99
---
I need to have a font for the first address line and the other fonts for the rest of the report. Again the top font for the totals.
Please help with some sample code.
Thanks

I think I did.
Change DJDE statements so there is a fontlist FONTS=(f1,f2)
then each print record must specify the font by number (0 or 1 OR 1 or 2) in pos 1, PCC in 2 and print data in 3-134
see what happens, make changes and try again. you may have to reverse the font number field and the PCC field
I don't have the Xerox manuals to help you any further with the exact keywords and parameters. Do you? Look up the JDE keywords or ask your laser print analyst/support person. |

HI Dave,
Thanks for your reply. I got the JDE and got the fonts to work. But, if I use multiple font lines on the same page, the lines are getting truncated for data.
Do you have anything about not to truncate data?. Please revert. |

fonts are probably too large to get all characters on a single line to fit page width
try creating print lines using each font with data like
| Code: |
| *...+....1....+....2....+...3....+....4....+....5....+...6....+....7....+....8....+...9....+....A |
that will give you an idea of how many characters each font will allow per line; trim data portion accordingly depending on whether you print portrait|landscape
using fontindex plays havoc with column alignment also |

Hi dneufarth,
I dont think that will work as I expect variable data over there. If the data element got only few CHARs, it is shrinking. If data element got more CHARs, it is expanding.
I am not sure whether some commands in JSL as:
LINE OVERPRINT=MERGE ........ or any other specification will work.
Thanks for your input. |

is it a variable width font? if so, spaces will indeed be smaller along with 'i', 'l' and similar 'thin' characters
try fixed width fonts |
