Chapter 26. Working with fonts This section describes the fonts required for printing different data formats. It also describes what you must do so that InfoPrint can use them. This material covers these font topics: v "Fonts for printing transformed PostScript and PDF data" v "Fonts for printing DBCS ASCII and EUC" on page 262 v "Fonts for printing line data" on page 263 Fonts for printing transformed PostScript and PDF data The InfoPrint PostScript transform program uses Type 1 outline fonts when transforming PostScript and PDF files. InfoPrint includes the Type 1 outline fonts and these fonts are installed in the install_path \ps\fonts path during installation. If you have other Type 1 outline fonts, you can also use them with the transform program. install_path indicates the path where you have installed InfoPrint Manager. You can view that path from the Management Console for InfoPrint Manager Server by clicking on the Edit → Service Configuration path and checking the Install path field. Note: When InfoPrint runs the PostScript transform program during job submission, it can search other directories for fonts. The following section contains these topics: v "Font mapping files" v "Specifying font substitution through initialization files" on page 257 Font mapping files A font-mapping file identifies the file names of the Type 1 outline fonts on the Windows operating system. The InfoPrint PostScript transform program requires at least one font-mapping file. InfoPrint installs the default font-mapping file, fonts.map in the install_path\ps path during installation. If you have other Type 1 outline fonts installed on your system, you can create additional font-mapping files to define their names. Creating a PostScript font mapping file When you create your own font-mapping files, consider that: v You can create more than one font-mapping file. v At least one font-mapping file must contain the Courier font. The PostScript transform program substitutes Courier for any missing fonts. v Fonts cannot span network file systems. Use the InfoPrint mkfntmap command to create a font-mapping file for use with the InfoPrint PostScript transform program. You specify one or more input files containing Type 1 outline fonts and a name for the font-mapping file. For example, to use the input file FontFile and create a font-mapping file named font.map, enter: 255
