<h3 id="rzau6ttfonts">TrueType and OpenType fonts</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is extensive operating system support for TrueType fonts, and they
|
||
|
|
are popular with PC applications. Consequentially, TrueType is probably the
|
||
|
|
most prevalent font technology in the industry today. The OpenType font format
|
||
|
|
is an extension of the TrueType font format that allows better support for
|
||
|
|
international character sets and provides broader multi-platform support.
|
||
|
|
The OpenType format allows both TrueType or Adobe Type 1 outline fonts to
|
||
|
|
be packaged as a TrueType font. OpenType fully supports Unicode. Advanced Function Presentation™ data stream (AFPDS) accepts Unicode UTF-8 or UTF-16.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can only print TrueType and OpenType fonts if both your printer driver,
|
||
|
|
such as Print Services Facility™ (PSF), and your printer
|
||
|
|
support the fonts. You can use a code page with TrueType and OpenType fonts,
|
||
|
|
but it is not required. </p>

<a name="wq5"></a>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notetitle" id="wq5">Note:</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notebody">Any TrueType font that is to be used
|
||
|
|
with Advanced Function Presentation (AFP™) must be Unicode-enabled.
|
||
|
|
This means that the font must have these characteristics:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>It must contain a Microsoft® Unicode subtable identified
|
||
|
|
by platform ID = 3 (Microsoft) and platform-specific encoding
|
||
|
|
ID = 1 (Unicode, UTF-16).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>It must specify a full font name (Name ID 4) using the same encoding in
|
||
|
|
the naming table.</li></ul></div>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you install a TrueType font with the Font Installer for AFP Systems, it creates
|
||
|
|
a resource access table. This table has a hard-coded name and is used to find
|
||
|
|
fonts on your system. The Font Installer for AFP Systems is a feature of the IBM® Infoprint® Fonts
|
||
|
|
for Multiplatforms licensed program</p>
