[afp-renderer-users] Re: Question on 3 sets of files

[Pete T. <pe...@to...>]

A coded font is an AFP font resource object that associates AFP font
character set objects with AFP code page objects. The metric and shape
information for each of the characters defined by the font is contained in
the font character set, and the information for mapping the code points used
in the document data stream to the graphic character global identifiers used
in the font character set is contained in the code page. A coded font
resource does not contain either the font character set object or the code
page object, but only references those objects by name.

We have decided not to implement any reference to the coded font as it does
not add any benefit. When using the renderer you specify the code page and
character set relationship in the afp fonts xml file, there is absolutely no
need for the coded font. You do however need to have the code page and
characterset resources available locally as they are used to calculate the
font metrics when rendering a document.

Regards, Pete.
