Use the Font Mappings page to define mappings for fonts used in your templates to desired published fonts. Font mapping is performed only for PDF output.
There are two types of mappings:
FO to PDF - for mapping fonts from RTF templates and XSL-FO templates to PDF output fonts
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 Configuration tab. See FO Processing Properties for setting the FO to PDF mapping. See PDF Template Properties for setting the PDF to PDF mapping.
Within a Font Mapping Set you can define multiple font mappings. Therefore you can use the same Font Mapping Set for multiple templates using different fonts, or to support multiple fonts in a single base document.
To create a Font Mapping, first create a Font Mapping Set, then create Font Mappings within the set. The Font Mapping fields will vary depending on the type of mapping you choose (FO to PDF or PDF Form).
Select the Create Font Mapping Set button from the Font Mappings page.
On the Create Font Mapping Set page, enter a Mapping Name and Mapping Code. Enter any unique name and code you choose.
Select the mapping Type:
FO to PDF - for RTF and XSL-FO templates
PDF Form - for PDF templates
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.
Select Create Font Mapping.
On the Create Font Mapping page, enter the following as appropriate and select Continue:
If your font mapping type is FO to PDF
Base Font
Font Family - enter the font family that will be mapped to a different font. For example: Arial.
Select the Style: Normal or Italic
Select the Weight: Normal or Bold
Locale
(Optional) Select the Language and Territory codes. Only templates with the corresponding language and territory codes will use this font mapping. A locale is a combination of an ISO language and an ISO country. See Locales for more information.
Target Font Type
Select the Font Type that the base font is to be mapped to: Truetype or Type 1.
For a list of Truetype and Type 1 fonts, see Predefined Fonts.
Enter the following as appropriate:
If you selected Truetype, or if the font mapping type is PDF Form:
Select the Truetype Font from the list of fonts that have been uploaded.
If you want to map to a specific numbered font in the collection, enter the Truetype Collection Number.
If you selected Type 1, select the Font name from the list. See Type 1 Fonts for the list.
Once you have created your font mapping it is now available for use in your templates. You can make this font available at one of three levels, Template, Data Definition and Site.
Query back your template or data definition in the Template Manager and select the Edit Configuration button.
Expand the FO Processing properties group and use the LOV for the Font mapping set property to select the font mapping you want to make available for this level.
If you add the font to an individual template then only that template can use that font. If you add it to a data definition, then all templates associated with that definition can use the font.
Navigate to the Administration tab then select the Configuration subtab.
Expand the FO Processing properties group and use the LOV for the Font mapping set property to select the font mapping you want to make available for this level.
The font will now be available across all data definitions and templates in the system.
