Re: [afp-renderer-users] Line Spacing and Medium Map

[Pete T. <pet...@gm...>]

Prakash,

You must have AFP fonts available for line spacing to work correctly, 
this means that you need to have AFP font files that match the font 
metrics you are using for PDF.

Regarding your second point, the form def should be handle by the 
software wishing to print the AFP, the AFP Renderer is not intened as a 
full print solution, any additional print information such as print 
tray, paper etc should be handled by the software embedding the AFP 
Renderer.

How would each page having an IMM command assist in specifying teh print 
tray?

Rgds, Pete
