Font mapping files

AFP Visual Environment lets you customize installation font-mapping files to map custom AFP fonts to Java fonts. In the font-mapping files, you can also specify the default Java font that is used when an AFP font is not mapped to a Java font.

AFP Visual Environment provides sample installation font-mapping files that you can edit.

In this section:

  1. CharacterSets.properties file
    The CharacterSets.properties file maps an AFP character set to corresponding font attributes or an AFP font global identifier (FGID) to a corresponding Java font name and style. You can add custom AFP character sets to this file.
  2. CodedFonts.properties file
    The CodedFonts.properties file maps an AFP coded font to its AFP character set and AFP code page.
  3. CodePages.properties file
    The CodePages.properties file maps an AFP code page or a Java character set encoding to an AFP code page global identifier (CPGID). You can add custom code pages to this file. The sample file that you can edit is (AIX and Linux) or (Windows)CodePages.properties.
  4. SampleCodePointMap.cp file
    The SampleCodePointMap.cp file maps code points in a custom AFP code page to Unicode code points. You can use this file to create a code point map file for each AFP code page that does not use standard Unicode code points.
