Creating a font mapping project
Create a new project to start defining font mappings for your AFP files.
A project stores your AFP files, font mappings, and configuration settings. You can save and reopen projects to continue working on font mappings.
To create a project:
- Select .The New font mapping project dialog opens.
- In the Project name field, type a name for the project.
- In the Project destination field, specify the folder where you want to save the project file.Click the browse button to select a folder.
- Select whether to use Embedded fonts or Mapped fonts.
- Embedded fonts
- Fonts are processed and embedded in the resulting PDF files. By using this option, the output PDF files will look more like the input AFP files.
- Mapped fonts
- Fonts are mapped by default. This option ensures smaller output PDF files size. However, the AFP files that contain fonts that do not have a font mapping will not be displayed correctly.
- Optional: Configure font and resource paths.
Select a path type from the list on the left:
- Resource path
- Path to AFP resource files
- Type 1 font path
- Folder path to Adobe Type 1 font files (.pfb)
- TrueType font path
- Path to TrueType and OpenType font files (.ttf, .otf, .ttc)
- Select the path type you want to configure.
- In the Select path field, specify the folder path or click the browse button to select a folder.
- Click + Add to add another path.
- Repeat for each path type you want to configure.
- Click OK.The project is created. The project name appears in the title bar.
