Creating Font Mappings

Use the Font Mappings page to define mappings for fonts used in your templates to produce desired published fonts. Font mapping is performed only for PDF Output.

There are two types of mappings – 1. FO to PDF – for mapping fonts from RTF templates and XSL-FO templates to PDF Output fonts.2. PDF Form – for mapping fonts from PDF templates to different PDF output fonts.

The mapping can then be defined at the site level, the template level, or the data definition level, using the Edit Configuration tab.

To create a Font Mapping, first create a Font Mapping set, and then create Font Mappings within that set.

Creating a Font Mapping Set.1. Select the Create Font Mapping Set button from the Font Mappings page.

2. On the Create Font Mapping Set page, enter a Mapping Name (Custom XML Publisher Fonts) and Mapping Code (CUSTOMXMLPUBFONT). Enter any unique name and code you choose. Select Apply. If there are no errors, you will receive confirmation that your mapping set was successfully created and the Font Mappings page will launch.

2. Open the Template in Word; you’ll notice a new Font “Free 3 of 9” would have got added to the Word’s Font List.

3. Apply the font to the field of your choice.

4. Go to File Properties, under the Custom Tab enter the following – Name – xdo-font.Free 3 of 9.normal.normalType – TextValue - truetype./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/FREE3OF9.ttf We cannot use Environment Variables like $XXMRP_TOP in the Value field. Hence, this font

needs to be installed in some common directory– which will eliminate the dependency on a particular server when we would migrate to different instances.
