Use the font libraries that are shipped in z/OS V2R2
Description
z/OS Font Collection, a new element in z/OS V2R1, replaces earlier font products you might be using in z/OS V1R13. The FMIDs for the earlier font products that z/OS Font Collection replaces are listed in z/OS Planning for Installation.

If you refer to the SYS1.FONTOLN font library for AFP outline fonts, replace the references with SYS1.SFNTILIB, which is the AFP outline font library for z/OS Font Collection.
