Courier New is a fully scaleable font and it is more commonly found on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000 PCs than the Courier font.Īll fonts are changed to Courier New with the exception of OCR-B, OCR-A, Symbol, Katakana, APL, Shalom, Light, Boldface, Essay, and Barak.

However, this can cause spooled files printed through PC5250 printer sessions to print differently than they did before. This means that OS/400 or i5/OS spooled files could start printing in other fonts than Courier, such as Gothic, Prestige and Artisan. In earlier Service Packs for V3R1M3 (R313) and V3R2M0 (R320) Client Access/400 for Windows 95/98/NT (5763XD1) and in the base code for V4R4M0 (R440) Client Access Express for Windows (5769XE1), PC5250 made a change to map the IBM OS/400 or IBM i5/OS font IDs to similar fonts in Windows rather than always mapping them to Courier. The attributes include the Typeface, GFID1, Family, Char Set, Width, Height, Weight and Style. These files consist of a list of global font IDs (or GFIDs) followed by the attributes of the font mapping. Starting in V5R2M0 (R520) iSeries Access for Windows, Personal Communications (PC5250) controls font mapping through both the PCSPD.DAT and PCSPDW.DAT files.
