Using Type Manager

When using Type Manager, you do not have to add font entries to the driver file or font substitution table, and the used fonts do not have to be installed in the environment where StreamServer is running.

To enable Type Manager for a driver

1	In the Output Connector Settings dialog box, generic layer, click the Driver icon.

2	On the Device Driver Settings tab, select Use type manager.

Font paths

Type Manager searches for fonts in the paths specified in strstypemanager.xml located in:

<StreamServe installation>\Applications\StreamServer\<Version>
\Server\bin

You can use the custom -fd (Fonts Directory) startup argument to specify a font path. This path is automatically added to the font path specification in strstypemanager.xml.

•	If you do not specify this argument, it defaults to ../data/fonts (relative to the working directory of the StreamServer application). If only this path is used you must make sure all used fonts are included in the export package.

•	If you specify this argument it should point to the location where the fonts will be available to StreamServer when processing jobs.

You can also edit strstypemanager.xml to specify multiple font paths.

Editing font entries for drivers

If you cannot use a font straight off in the output from a specific driver you can edit the font entries in the driver file or use a font substitution table. See Font entries in driver files and substitution tables for information about font entries.
