FontMagic/400 Font Manager



Scalable TrueType Fonts and Barcodes for the AS/400!



Now, you can incorporate special-purpose scalable TrueType fonts into any iSeries or AS/400 application using HP or compatible laser printers. Our library of fonts includes MICR, OCR, PostNet, Planet, and all the popular 1d barcodes. We can also convert special fonts that you supply so they can be used with your FontMagic/400 applications. Click here to view sample fonts.

FontMagic/400 is ideal for checks, labels, mailings, image archive indexing, and any application where including a barcode will save subsequent re-keying. FontMagic/400 is intended for use with HP LaserJet 4 and above or compatible printers supporting TrueType scalable fonts, but we also supply the MICR font in a fixed-pitch size for use with older printers.

The FontMagic/400 callable API makes program changes easy and handles all the options for all the popular barcodes. We can also utilize FontMagic/400 fonts in any custom Windows applications we develop.

Note: FontMagic/400 fonts are not intended for general replacement of the Courier text font used by most AS/400 emulators. The text fonts available with FontMagic/400 are proportionally spaced; thus, they are not easily used with traditional columnar applications. FontMagic/400 fonts are intended only for specific fields and titles where special effects are needed and columnar lineup is not a factor.
