Use the PS2PCL utility to convert a PostScript font into a PCL bitmap font file.
| Note | You can also use Studio’s Font manager. See also TT2PCL. |

|
Parameter |
Description |
|
/I |
Enter the name of the FNT file (PFB file.) |
|
/P |
Enter the point size, such as 6, 10, and so on. |
|
/D |
(Optional) Enter the dots per inch. The default is 300. |
|
/S |
Enter the PS2PCL Symbol Set. |

In most cases, you should set the /S parameter to W1. The W1 symbol set matches the characters used by Windows for English and several Western European languages.
For importing PostScript symbol fonts, such as Euro Sans and ITD Zapf Dingbats, which contain characters that do not adhere to a standard Windows code page, set the /S parameter to WD. This tells the utility that these PostScript fonts that contain characters that do not adhere to a standard Windows code page.
The PS2PCL utility converts a PostScript PFB font file into a PCL font. Because PostScript fonts are scalable and PCL fonts are bitmaps, you must specify a point size.
The PS2PCL utility loads the FSISYS.INI file and looks for the DefLib option in the FMRES control group. The path you specify in the DefLib option should indicate where a CODEPAGE.INI file can be found (usually ..\fap\mstrres\fmres\deflib), however, the CODEPAGE.INI file is not required.
If no FMRES control group or DefLib option exists in the FSISYS.INI file, the utility uses the default path (..\mstrres\fmres\deflib).
Documaker uses the Java Runtime Environment (also known as the Java Virtual Machine) to support TrueType and PostScript fonts. In order for Documaker to use the JVM, the system looks for the jvm DLL/DSO (for example, jvm.dll for windows, libjvm.so for Linux and Solaris) and supporting files to be installed in one of the following locations:
