The hidden treasure of Unicode TTFs
Once in a while we have been asked for how to find other Unicode fonts – apart from the Arial Unicode font. Until now we have referenced to this site for inspiration:
http://www.unicode.org/resources/fonts.html
Still this might be a good place to start if you want to BUY new Unicode fonts, but actually some Unicode fonts have actually been closer than we thought…
When installing OS400 V6R1 (and newer) you also can chose to install Option 43 Additional Fonts, which is a FREE option of 57xxSS1. So after installing this option you should be able find these fonts in the IFS inside this directory: /qibm/ProdData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts.
A description of most of the fonts are found here:
http://www4.infoprintsolutionscompany.com/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.printers.infoprintfonts%2Fcom.ibm.printers.fontsummary%2Fc0pe2mst66.htm
So it means, that it is very likely, that you already have a selection of Unicode fonts ‘hidden’ in the IFS.
If you want a fixed font you should take a look at the duospaced fonts. They are probably exactly what you need..
