DosPFSInit


Bindings:  C, MASM 

This call allows the Font Switcher to initialize code page and font 
switching for a specified printer. 
 DosPFSInit   (CPHdw, FontFileName, PrinterType, PrinterName, Instances, 
              Reserved) 
 
 CPHdw (PUSHORT) - input 
    Address of the pointer list, in the following format, that specifies 
    the hardware code page and fonts on the printer. 
    Word        Description 
    Word 0      Number of definitions that follow. 
    DWord 1/N   Code page number (1st Word of DWord) and Font ID (2nd Word 
                of DWord) for each hardware font in order corresponding to 
                the hardware code page and font selection numbers. (For 
                example, the first code page and font ID value corresponds 
                to the default hardware font 0, the second, to hardware 
                font 1, the third, to hardware font 2, and so on.  If the 
                default hardware font is not known, 0 should be specified 
                for the default code page and font). 
 FontFileName (PSZ) - input 
    Address of the pathname of the font file of the specified printer that 
    initiates the code page and font switching. 
 PrinterType (PSZ) - input 
    Address of the printer type ID. 
 PrinterName (PSZ) - input 
    Address of the name of the printer that initiates code page and font 
    switching. 
 Instances (USHORT) - input 
    Maximum number of different instances of use tracking code page and 
    font switching. This value is advisory for the Font Switcher 
    allocating enough resources for the specified number of instances 
    being tracked. 
 Reserved (ULONG) - input 
    Reserved must be set to zero. 
 rc (USHORT) - return 
    Return code descriptions are listed in the following section. 
 
 Remarks 
 DosPFSInit is intended for use only by applications that replace the 
 spooler as a print monitor and that do code page switching. Other 
 applications should use printer IOCTLs to manipulate printer code page 
 switching. 
 DosPFSInit is located in SPOOLCP.DLL (not DOSCALLS.LIB) and requires an 
 import statement in the module definition file.  Refer to the IBM 
 Operating System/2 Version 1.2 Building Programs, Module Definition File 
 Statements section for information regarding the import statement. 
 Return values are: 
 1         Code page switcher already initialized 
 3         User entered too many ROMs in DEVINFO, initialization continued 
           with the rest 
 6         Wrong or missing font file ID 
 9         Code page switcher internal error 
 10        Invalid printer name as input 
 11        Printer type input does not match that in font file 
 12        Could not get storage for control blocks 
 14        Could not open font file during initialization 
 17        Switcher reports too many system file number entries 
 19        I/O error reading font file control sequence section 
 20        I/O error reading font file header 
 21        I/O error reading font file font definition block 
 22        Some fonts bad due to error in font file, initialization 
           continued.
