Font Mapping for 5770TS1

System: Power System/Post script printer
Actor: User needing new feature this process is directly sending the PDF file including 'WT Sans J' font. It is very useful because customer doesn't need PC on the way of Printer.
The customer is printing car parts data.
Description: The customer is printing PDF file of car parts data directly to the Postscript Printer. However, Font is over-wrapped because 5770TS1 doesn't support Adobe-Japan level 6. Current support level 1,2,3 is very old-fashioned style.


Use Case:

System: Car Parts Order Application
Use cases for the system:
• Confirm the parts
• Create the parts
Scenario: Car parts order Steps include:
1. Browse products
2. Select products
3. Identify payment method
4. Identify shipping method
5. Confirm purchase

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. To remain competitive, IBM should provide support for this newer release of Adobe.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    For more details about CAAC's role with RFEs, see http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/May-2017/COMMON-Americas-Advisory-Council-%28CAAC%29-and-RFEs/

    IBM recognizes this as a beneficial enhancement. IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.
