Typeface mapping

You can map AFP character sets to TrueType fonts using typeface mapping. Use the typeface name from the font descriptor in the AFP character set, and the following syntax:

<AFP typeface name> TYPEFACE <font>

// Typeface mapping

TIMES ROMAN        TYPEFACE          Times New Roman

Forced typeface mapping

To map plain AFP typefaces to bold or italic, or bold and italic AFP typefaces to plain, you can use the following keywords:

•	NOT_BOLD – Mapped AFP typefaces will always be plain in the output.

•	USE_BOLD – Mapped AFP typefaces will always be bold in the output.

•	NOT_ITALIC – Mapped AFP typefaces will always be plain in the output.

•	USE_ITALIC – Mapped AFP typefaces will always be italic in the output.

Use the following syntax in the typeface mapping:

<AFP typeface name> TYPEFACE <font>  <keyword>
