I don't remember if you've said what O/S you're using, but I have a font
load coded with a "PCPERFORM" to have our AIX system send the font
definitions to the printer before starting printing from BASIC.
The file contains the exact data stream needed to set up the font. I use
the following BASIC statement in UniData to send it:
* QUEUE = AIX Print Queue
* FONTFILE = Full Path Name of Font File, e.g. "/usr/local/myfont"
*
PCPERFORM "lp -d ":QUEUE:" ":FONTFILE CAPTURING MSG
Hope this might help...
