To print Arial, here are the information:
1. What need to be installed
Arial is equivalent to Sonoran Sans Serif.
It is included in Advanced Function Printing Fonts/400 (5769-FNT, option 3-6)
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/rzahc/rzahcswslpsze.htm
It is a chargable license program. Please contact BP for purchasing the license program.

2. How to install 5769-FNT
Use RSTLICPGM to specify 5769FNT and relevant options.

3. How to specify AFP font when print
After install 5769FNT and relevant options, you will see QFNT03, QFNT04, QFNT05, QFNT06 libraries ad
option installed)
WRKLIB QFNT0x, option 12 and you can look for desired coded font name (*FNTRSC)

a) For printer device file, change DEVTYPE to *AFPDS

b) Use EITHER one of the following method to specify the font being used:
i) Specify coded font resource name in printer file by CHGPRTF or OVRPRTF
Font character set:
Character set . . . . . . . . Name, *FONT
Library . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB
Code page . . . . . . . . . . Name
Library . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB
Point size . . . . . . . . . . *NONE 0.1-999.9, *NONE
Coded font:
Coded font . . . . . . . . . . Name, *FNTCHRSET
Library . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB
Point size . . . . . . . . . . *NONE 0.1-999.9, *NONE
ii) Using DDS and printer files

fn.htm
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/rzalu/rzaluexternalexmp.htm
     DDS Example:-
      A*
      A          R REC1
      A            FLD1           8A    10 13CDEFNT(QFNTCPL/X0BRTR)
      A*
      A            FLD2          10A    11 13CDEFNT(QFNTCPL/X0BRTP +
      A                                      (*POINTSIZE 10.1))
      A            FLD3          10A    20 13CDEFNT(QFNTCPL/X0BRTP +
      A                                      (*POINTSIZE 5.0 3.0))
Note: FONT cannot be used with *POINTSIZE in V5R4
      You may download tools to test fonts in AS400
      http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/FLASH10380
      FONT is for Printer Resident
      FNTCHRSET(Charter set Code page) or CDEFNT(Code Font) is AFP fonts are stored in AS400 (QFNTxx

1. For information about AFP Font Collection, please start from here:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/print/afpfonts_ww.html

2. To check what is already installed in iSeries, you can use WRKFNTRSC or using iNav > AFP Manager
Fonts to check
You will see a list of library and resource names.

To check the meaning of individual libraries and how to install them, please refer here:
AFP FONT COLLECTION FONTS
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/prsys/pdfs/i1002241.pdf

3. To check font information, FGID and how a font look like, please refer to this technote:
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/DocNumber/8712759

Another way to check if the font is available in your system.
Please refer to p.37-52 in this book and check which fonts you would like to print.
Font Summary for AFP Font Collection S544-5633-02
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/prsys/pdfs/54456332.pdf

For example, you want to print Times New Roman. Refer to p.42 in this book.
Code page is T1001148 and character set identifier is CnN200p0 (substitue 'n' with '0' and for 'p' r
p.37)

So I can find the font resource is avaiable in iSeries:
