Mapping AFP fonts

AFP fonts that a document was created with need to be mapped to fonts that can be displayed by the AFP Web Viewer. ODWEK provides font definition files that map the IBM Core Interchange (Latin only) and compatibility fonts to TrueType fonts. The font definition files and font map files are stored in the FONT subdirectory of the AFP Web Viewer directory.

About this task

For any of the following situations, you must define the fonts in the font definition files so that the AFP Web Viewer can correctly display the documents:
  • If your documents use fonts that are not defined to the AFP Web Viewer.
  • If you or others in your organization have modified the IBM Core fonts
  • If you or others in your organization have created AFP fonts.
