fixed pitch fonts. For proportionally spaced (typographic) fonts, the user
must specify the font that is to be printed.
Like an IBM 5219 printer, the 3812 printer is configured with a default
font ID on the host. Configure the most commonly used font as the system
default, then change the font as necessary with a font-change command in
the document (see
Section 6.4.1
), a printer override, or an OCL
command.
Table 6-1 below shows which fonts can be used as system defaults for a
System/36 or System/38 host.

You can place font-change commands within the text of a word-processing
or data-processing document to select a font other than the default font.
The commands appear on the screen but do not print. The font change
takes effect immediately and continues until the next font change. See
Appendix A
for a list of font IDs.
