Is there an easy way with IBM Script to change the default font used for
Postscript printers?  For example, I'm thinking of a .df command one could
insert in DSMPROF4 SCRIPT, the profile.  I found lots of .df commands for
things like headers and footnotes and other kinds of situations, but I
can't find the bloody base font definition.

The CHARS run-time option is helpful, but only if I don't need to specify a
font size as well as a font name.

Sorry if this is simple; if it's simple, it's certainly not well
documented.
