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.

Applying Barcode font by uploading Font file to UNIX –
1. Detach the Font File (FREE3OF9.ttf) from Team Room under XML Publiser Info  Barcode
Font File Category to your Local Drive under C:\WINDOWS\Fonts directory. This will install
the Barcode Font on your local machine.
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.normal
Type – Text
Value - 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.
