mkfntmap command: maps PostScript fonts

Syntax

mkfntmap inputfile … [> outputfile]

Description

The mkfntmap command creates a font mapping file that contains a list of the PostScript Type 1 fonts specified in the inputfiles parameter of the command and their locations.

InfoPrint Manager for AIX or Linux includes the /usr/lpp/psf/ps/psfonts.map file.

The font map file maps the AFP outline fonts to the directory in which they were installed. If you have additional PostScript fonts or you add new PostScript fonts, use the mkfntmap command to create a font mapping file for the new fonts after they are installed.

If you will be using the additional fonts frequently, you should add the fonts to the preload.ps file in the /usr/lpp/psf/ps directory for InfoPrint Manager for AIX or Linux.
