AFP font structure
The font structure of FOCA outline and raster fonts is made up of these font components (see Figure 9):
- Coded font
- A coded font consists of a character set and a code page.
- Character set
- A character set specifies characters, character properties, and printing attributes.
- Code page
- A code page defines character IDs and code points.
Font components
WorldType outline fonts are organized by subsets and grouped by character blocks as defined by Microsoft Unicode format. Instead of using a character set, WorldType fonts map a code page to a Unicode point or use an extended code page that contains the Unicode point.
