Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering fonts
6.8.3 Modifying the attributes of a font
You can modify the attributes of any defined font you administer.
The default font GENERIC supplied with Xprint V7.0 cannot be modified,
even by the Xprint V7.0 administrator.
● To be on the safe side, first display the attributes of the font you want to
modify. To do this, use the xpshow -fnt command (see section “Displaying
information on Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 82).
● To modify the attributes of specific fonts, enter the following command:
xpmod -fnt [selection] modifications
For selection you can either specify a list of fonts whose attributes you want
to modify, or you can use the -scl “selection_criteria_list” option (see
section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list
of criteria according to which the relevant fonts are selected. If you do not
specify selection, all fonts are modified.
modifications represents a list of modifications to be made to the font(s). Each
entry in this list consists of one of the options of the xpadd -fnt command
listed in the section “Adding a font” on page 152, plus a corresponding value.
Examples
– To modify the attributes of the font invoice from SansSerif to Courier and
the line spacing from 4 to 5:
xpmod -fnt invoice -tp Courier -vm 5
– To modify the character pitch of all fonts with the setting “10 cpi” to 12 cpi:
xpmod -fnt -scl "-hm 10" -hm 12
