CodedFonts.properties file

The CodedFonts.properties file maps an AFP coded font to its AFP character set and AFP code page.

You can edit this file if you created or modified a code page or a character set and linked them in a coded font or if you have a different code page and character set pair that you linked in a coded font. The sample file that you can copy and edit is /aiw/aiw1/lib/AVE/resources/CodedFonts.properties (Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\lib\AVE\resources\CodedFonts.properties (Windows) .

Purpose

The CodedFonts.properties file lets you specify the AFP coded font for custom AFP code pages and character sets.

Format

Each line in the file has this format: 
codedfont=characterset,codepage
For example: 
X?H210AC=C?H200A0,T1V10500
codedfont
The identifier for the AFP coded font, which joins the character set and the code page. The second character in standard AFP coded font names indicates the character rotation. You can use a question mark (?) as a wildcard character for the second character of the coded font name. The ? means that the identifier applies to all rotations.
Note: To change which AFP character set and code page is used when an AFP coded font is not mapped to an AFP character set and code page, specify DEFAULT for the identifier of the AFP coded font. If DEFAULT is specified for more than one entry in the file, the last entry is used.
characterset
The 8-character identifier for the AFP character set. The second character in standard AFP character set names indicates the character rotation. You can use a question mark (?) as a wildcard character for the second character of the character set name. The ? means that the identifier applies to all rotations.
codepage
The AFP code page name.
