RRL RT'01'/'03'/'10' RIDF'03' (GCSGID/CPGID/FGID/FW = GRID)
• Valid combinations for the IBM Core Interchange Set require page 90 "Code Page" (IBM Core
Interchange Resident Scalable Font Set) (superset GCSGID/FGID/FW), page 92 "Operating
System/400 Terms" (GCSGID Subsets for IBM Core Interchange Fonts) (GCSGID subsets) and
page 93 "Font Terms" (GCSGID/ CPGID), and will be reported via XOA-RRL RT 01 RIDF 03
(also RT 10 RIDF 03). In all GRIDs, the GCSGID chosen will belong to the Code Page, as this is
almost always the subset of the outline font GCSGID.
•
Scalable Font Width (FW) will be reported as 0 to the host PSF. This indicates that any width/
scale-factor is valid.
• CPGIDs and GCSGIDs are listed in page 93 "Font Terms". For each pair, determine which
FGIDs in page 90 "Code Page" (IBM Core Interchange Resident Scalable Font Set) which
contains the page 93 "Font Terms" GCSGID as a subset. An example is that there would be
51 GRID combinations for the Times New Roman Medium font...FGID is always 2308, FW is
always 0, and there are 51 unique CPGID/GCSGID pairs in Table page 93 "Font Terms"
which are subsets of the superset GCSGID 1269.
• Valid combinations for the IBM Coordinated Set require page 119 "IBM Coordinated Font Set
(IPDS)" (Resident PSC Strategic Scalable Font Set 2) (superset GCSGID/FGID/FW), page 121
"IBM Coordinated Font Set Code Page Set" (GCSGID Subsets for the Strategic Font Set 2)
(GCSGID subsets) and page 106 "IBM Core Interchange Resident Code Page Set" and
page 121 "IBM Coordinated Font Set Code Page Set" (GCSGID/CPGID), and will be reported
via XOA-RRL RT 01 RIDF 03 (also RT 10 RIDF 03). In all GRIDs, the GCSGID chosen will belong
to the Code Page, as this is almost always the subset of the outline font GCSGID.
• Scalable Font Width (FW) will be reported as 0 to the host PSF. This indicates that any width/
scale-factor is valid.
• CPGIDs and GCSGIDs are listed in page 93 "Font Terms" and page 97 "XOA-RRL
Replies for Font Character Sets". For each pair, determine which FGIDs in page 96 "IBM
Core Interchange Resident Scalable Font Set (IPDS only)" (Resident PSC Strategic Scalable
Font Set 2) can combine with them. This is done by finding the superset GCSGID in
page 97 "XOA-RRL Replies for Font Character Sets" (GCSGID Subsets for the Strategic Font
Set 2) which contains the page 93 "Font Terms" GCSGID as a subset. An example is that
there would be 41 GRID combinations for the Letter Gothic font...FGID is always 400, FW is
always 0, and there are 41 unique CPGID/GCSGID pairs in page 93 "Font Terms" and
page 97 "XOA-RRL Replies for Font Character Sets". which are subsets of the superset
GCSGID 2039.
• Valid combinations for the 4028 Compatibility Set require page 94 "Font and Code Page
Selection" (FGID/FW) and page 95 "Resident IPDS Fonts" (GCSGID/CPGID), and will be
reported via XOA-RRL RT 01 RIDF 03. In all GRIDs, the GCSGID chosen will belong to the Code
Page, as this is almost always the subset of the outline font GCSGID.
• The FW's for these fonts are non-zero, because they represent fixed-width fonts.
