Problem:

How to add FONTs to FORMAT PDF output?


Solution:

The steps for adding additional PDF fonts are as follows:

1. Copy the test.pfb and the test.afm files to the //ibi/srv51/home/etc
directory. Please note that if using FTP, the PFB file is BINARY while the
AFM file is ASCII.

2. Modify the PDF.FTM file with the following:
font=Helvetica Condensed Light, style=normal, metricsfile=TEST AFM *,
fontfile=TEST PFB *,$

3. Within the stylesheet, the notation would be:
FONT='Helvetica Condensed Light'

An example would be as follows:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1, FONT='Helvetica Condensed Light',$
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N2, FONT=HELVETICA,$
ENDSTYLE
END
