Note: For your convenience, InfoPrint has provided a sample UserInit file, UserInit.turnFontSubstitutionOn.sample, in either the /var/psf/ps2afp2 directory on an InfoPrint Manager AIX server or the \install_path\var\psf\ps2afp2 folder on an InfoPrint Manager Windows server. You can use the desktop Text Editor to rename the UserInit.turnFontSubstitutionOn.sample file and use this UserInit file at your installation. Adding non-IBM fonts to AIX for a PostScript job If your InfoPrint system receives a PostScript job from a personal computer system, the fonts required for that job might not reside on the AIX system. An InfoPrint Submit operator might find that either: v Fonts are not available on AIX v Fonts are not in the .pfa or .pfb format required for PostScript fonts If either of these conditions occur, the AIX administrator must make these fonts available before printing the PostScript job. Adding Type 1 fonts to a personal font library You can add .pfa or .pfb files that print regularly at your installation to your InfoPrint Manager AIX server by using the /var/psf/fonts directory. Use this procedure, ensuring that you are the root user: 1. Open a dtterm session on your InfoPrint Manager AIX server. 2. From the AIX command line, access the correct directory by typing: cd /var/psf/psfonts Note: To further qualify the location of your personal fonts, you might want to create a subdirectory or directories, such as pkg_a or pkg_b, using the mkdir command. 3. From either a CD-ROM or your location of choice, download the files to your InfoPrint Manager AIX server, ensuring that you copy the files in binary format. 4. From your InfoPrint Manager AIX server in either the /var/psf/fonts directory or the subdirectory you created, make sure that the downloaded files have the correct permissions by entering these commands: a. chown root.printq * to make sure that the /root/printq ID owns all downloaded files. b. chmod 444 * to make sure that all files have read access. c. chmod 664 user.map to make sure that you can write to the user.map file. 5. From the AIX command line in either the /var/psf/fonts directory or the subdirectory you created, create a font mapping file that lists PostScript Type 1 font names and their locations on the InfoPrint Manager AIX server by typing: mkfntmap pkg_a/*.pfb pkg_b/*.pfb >> user.map InfoPrint Manager appends the *.pfb files that you stored in the pkg_a/*.pfb and pkg_b/*.pfb subdirectories to the user.map file. This user.map file is referenced in the ps_font_map_files resource path in the /usr/lpp/psf/ps2afp/ ps2afpd.cfgfile: Chapter 21. Working with fonts 225
