SYMPTOMS

When you select the font override properties for a 3270 print session, several settings are not reflected in the print output. For example Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Underline, and Strikeout do not print when you select them in the Font dialog box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

With the fix applied, this functionality is available through this dialog box. Note these characteristics will be applied to the entire print job and will not work if a PDT file is used. Font properties are ignored if a PDT is set up because the GDI interface is no longer used. Some fonts do not support bold or italic, and other fonts are indistinguishable as bold or non-bold.
