To make manual correlations for single-byte fonts, create a tab.mft file in the appropriate metrics directory. In the table, you can correlate a Xerox font to an AFP coded font, to an AFP character set and code page pair, or to an AFP page segment. The syntax for single-byte character set (SBCS) font entries in the correlation table is:

F  XName A2ETable { CFont | CSet Cpage | PSeg { Char | XChar } [ X=nn ] [ Y=nn ] }

Where:

F

Specifies that the entry is an SBCS font.

XName

Specifies the name of the Xerox font in uppercase characters and without the .FNT extension. For example, P0612C.

A2ETable

Specifies the name of the ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation table that Infoprint XT uses. Unless instructed otherwise by an IBM service representative, this value is X2AFP.

CFont

Specifies the name of the AFP coded font to use in place of the Xerox font. For example, X0KY96.

CSet Cpage

Specifies the name of an AFP character set and code page pair to use in place of the Xerox font. For example, C0H01030 T1H01030.

PSeg { Char | XChar } [ X=nn ] [ Y=nn ]

PSeg specifies the name of an AFP page segment, such as S1ABCA, to use in place of one character in the Xerox font. You have two methods by which you can identify the character in the Xerox font:

Char

Specifies the literal ASCII character in the font, such as A.

XChar

Specifies the code point of the character in hexadecimal notation, such as 41. If you have access to a Xerox printer, you can sample the font to determine the code point.

These are examples of both methods:

F ABC X2AFP S1ABCA A

F ABC X2AFP S1ABC41 41

Optionally, you can also adjust the positioning of the character that the page segment represents. The adjustments that you make are relative to the page segment when you look at it in the portrait orientation. The values are:

X=nn

Specifies a horizontal adjustment. nn is a value in pels. A positive value moves the page segment to the right. A negative value moves it to the left.

Y=nn

Specifies a vertical adjustment. nn is a value in pels. A positive value moves the page segment down on the page. A negative value moves it up.

Figure 1 shows the various types of entries that you can make in a manual font correlation table for single-byte Xerox fonts.
