mkfntmap FontFile >font.map Using font-mapping files with the ps2afp or pdf2afp command By default, InfoPrint uses the fonts.map font-mapping file when you enter the ps2afp or the pdf2afp command; you do not have to specify the name of the default font-mapping file with the command. To use font-mapping files that you have created when you issue the ps2afp command, you must: v Enter the path and name of the font-mapping file as the value of the ps_font_map_files keyword in the transform daemon configuration file, which is named ps2afpd.cfg and located in the install_path\ps2afp\ folder. For performance reasons, this is the recommended method. You can specify more than one font-mapping file, if necessary. Separate the font-mapping files with colons. For example, to specify the font-mapping files font1.map and font2.map, enter: ps_font_map_files=c:\path\font1.map; c:\path\font2.map v Enter the path and name of the font-mapping file as the value of the ps_font_map_files transform command configuration file. Use the same syntax as described for entering the value in the transform daemon configuration file. Using this method can result in significant performance degradation. v Specify the font-mapping file, including its path name, from the command line using the -F flag of the ps2afp or the pdf2afp command. You can specify multiple files using multiple -F flags; InfoPrint concatenates them from left-to-right (first entered to last entered) in that order: ps2afp -F c:\path\font.map -F C:\path2\font2.map This method can also result in degraded performance. v If the path to the font mapping file contains blanks, you must surround the qualified pathname in double-quotes: ps2afp -F"D:\Program Files\ps\fonts.map" Do not enclose a path that contains spaces in quotes(""); the transform will fail with incorrect font mapping file errors. v To specify two mapping files in a command, you must make sure that each file's full pathname is specified, as in these examples: ps2afp -F"D:\Program Files\ps\font1.map; D:\Program Files\ps\font2.map" ps2afp -F"D:\Program Files\ps\font1.map" -F"D:\Program Files\ps\font2.map" v If you do not specify a drive letter, but expect the transform to find a mapping file using a relative path, the default drive is based on the install_path because that is where the ps2afp executables reside. If your file is on the D: drive, the command line is on the C: drive, and the product is installed on the E: drive, InfoPrint attempts to use the E:\samp1.map font mapping file: C:\> ps2afp -oout.afp -F\samp1.map d:\incoming.ps However, if your specify this command, InfoPrint attempts to use the C:\ps\files\samp1.map font mapping file: C:\ps\files> ps2afp -oout.afp -F\samp1.map d:\incoming.ps If you create your own font mapping file -- either by using the mkfntmap command or manually -- and the path to the fonts contains blanks, the font 256 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures
