I am receiving this error while trying to install a new PostScript font. I have updated my pscript.fmp file with the following line:

font=BARCODE3, style=normal, metricsfile=IDAutomationSHC39M AFM *, fontfile=IDAutomationSHC39M PFA *, $

I have added the corresponding files into the same directory as the fmp files.

When I run the report it gives me the following error:

BTP1020 Executing focexec.
BTP1020 AFM FILE CAN NOT BE FOUND OR READ, COURIER WILL BE SUBSTITUTED:
BTP1010 Task error: AFM FILE CAN NOT BE FOUND OR READ, COURIER WILL BE SUBSTITUTED:
BTP1010 No report to distribute.


Any help would be appreciated...

Can you confirm that the AFM file has been placed into your ibi\srv71\home\etc folder. You may also want to see if you can open the file in NOTEPAD just to make sure it's not corrupted.

You may want to insert it into the FMP file this way:

font=BARCODE3, style=normal, metricsfile=IDAutomationSHC39M AFM *,
fontfile=IDAutomationSHC39M PFA *, $

Alternatively Upper case the entire file name or limit the file name to 8 characters.

You shouldn't have to, but, who knows...

the font files can also be located in an application folder that is in app path (such as baseapp). Easier to manage ond can be done without having to physically access system directories/files.
I abide by Fortune's suggestions. Short field names and all caps:
font=CODE39, style=normal, metricsfile=CODE39 AFM *,
fontfile=CODE39 PFB *, $
font=CODE39A, style=normal, metricsfile=CODE39A AFM *,
fontfile=CODE39A PFB *, $

Also, at one time, PFA files were not supported - don't know if that has changed


Regards,

Darin
