Mapping fonts specified as character set and code page pairs

Configure font mappings for fonts specified as character set and code page pairs.

Make sure you have added an AFP file to your project. See Adding AFP files.

The Document AFP Fonts panel shows separate Character sets and Code pages sections for fonts that are defined with explicit character set and code page references. Unlike coded fonts, these fonts do not require you to specify the character set and code page pairing—that information is already defined in the AFP file.

  1. Select Project ⇒ Add AFP to add the AFP file that contains the character set and code page you want to map.
  2. Expand the DOCUMENT AFP FONTS panel.
    The Mapping Options panel displays the configuration options for the selected font. The preview panel highlights text that uses this font.
  3. To create a mapping for the character set:
    1. Make sure Enable mapping is selected.
      When this option is cleared, the font mapping is disabled and the font uses default conversion behavior.
    2. In the Font size field, adjust the font size if needed.
      Increase or decrease this value to scale the target font relative to the original AFP font size.
    3. In the Target font type list, select the category of font to use for the mapping.
    4. In the Target font list, select the specific font to use.
      The available fonts depend on the target font type you selected.
    5. Select Bold or Italic to apply font styles.
      These options are not available for Sonoran and Modified Base 14 fonts.
  4. To create a mapping for the code page:
    1. Make sure Enable mapping is selected.
      When this option is cleared, the font mapping is disabled and the font uses default conversion behavior.
    2. In the Encoding type list, select the character encoding size.
    3. In the Encoding classification list, select the encoding standard.
    4. In the Code page ID list, select a specific code page identifier if needed.

The font mapping is configured. The mapping is stored in the csdef.fnt and cpdef.fnt files when you export the configuration.
