Arial equivalent fonts on the AFP environment is SONORAN SANS SERIF and HELVETICA. I don't think you could order Sonoran Sans Serif font anymore. The newer font sets "AFP Font Collection" are bundled with HELVETICA fonts. ARIAL is a Microsoft publicized true type font as HELVETICA substitute. But these all don't make any difference if AFP printing is not involved. You will have to find out how "ExStream Dialogue drivers" routes print outputs to the printer.
BTW IBM printer division is merged with Ricoh as "Infoprint solutions company".

We have an Infoprint 4445 Printer (?) and what they want to see is an Arial Font that is about a 12 pitch. I do not have a pitch ruler so I am guessing at the 12, it maybe smaller. I have been looking for manuals or archives that might help me understand how to print Arial on the Mainframe in 12pitch font. I remember that there are Pagedef and Formdefs that can help, but I have not located a manual that says a GT12 is this or a GF15 is that. I am just looking for documentation that identifies the normal core fonts that exist on the mainframe (or how to find them) and what ?defs I need to use to get the same page print on the infoprint that I get on a windows attached printer. We are using ExStream Dialogue drivers on the mainframe to do the print the files from the PC, I am just thinking that perhaps the JCL needs a little Output tweaking. The test I will use is printing a word doc with Arial 12. Then printing the same file to the mainframe printer. If they are identical, then I have the right combination of stuff (that is the technical term? Stuff?).
