Re: [afp-renderer-users] Platform dependencies?

Harold,

You should not have any problem moving to z/OS mainframe, I'd recommend
developing with the fonts that you are using in your target environment. AFP
fonts are the same regardless of the platform (with the exception that a
different encoding may be used but these would be different fonts anyway).

Rgds, Pete.
