Creating a PostScript font mapping file

When you create your own font-mapping files, consider that:

  • You can create more than one font-mapping file.
  • At least one font-mapping file must contain the Courier font. The PostScript transform program substitutes Courier for any missing fonts.
  • 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: 

mkfntmap FontFile >font.map
