Editing the coded font definition file
You might have to edit the coded font definition file if you created or modified a
code page or a character set and have linked them in a coded font.
- ICODED.FNT
- Contains definitions for approximately 2500 coded fonts, including the AFP Font Collection and Infoprint Fonts. Do not edit this file.
- CODED.FNT
- A file that you can edit to include any coded fonts that you have created.
CODED.FNT file uses this syntax:
CODEDFONT=CHARSET,CODEPAGE
- CODEDFONT
- The identifier for the coded font that joins the CHARSET and the CODEPAGE.
- CHARSET
- The 8-character identifier for the character set.
- CODEPAGE
- The AFP code page name.
For example, the CODED.FNT file might contain these entries:
X?A155N1=C?A155N1,T1DCDCFS X0T0550C=C0T05500,T1DCDCFSYou can use a question mark (?) as the wildcard character for any single character in the coded font name and the character set name. You can enter more than one ? character.
To edit the coded font definition file:
- On AIX and Linux, log in to the primary computer using a user ID that is a member of the RICOH ProcessDirector group (aiwgrp1 is the default).
- Navigate to
/opt/infoprint/ippd/afpviewer/font(AIX and Linux) orC:\Program Files\Ricoh\ProcessDirector\afpviewer\font(Windows) and find the filecoded.fnt. - Copy the file
coded.fntand save it as a backup.For example, you can save the copy as coded.fnt.bak. - Open
coded.fntin a file editor. - Insert new lines for the coded fonts that your files require, using the syntax above.
- Note:
- A semicolon (;) in the first column causes that line to be treated as a comment.
- Section headers within files are enclosed in square brackets ([]) and must not be removed or changed.
- All values are case-sensitive.
- If a parameter value is not valid and a default value exists, the default value is used.
- All parameters are positional.
- Blanks are allowed between parameters.
