Adding character encodings to Type1 font entries

The default character encoding for the fonts in the PDF driver is Windows code page 1252, and the default character encoding for the fonts in the Postscript driver is the default character set specified for the font.

To use other encodings outside the default character encoding for a font, you must add the new encoding to the font entry in the driver file. Character encodings are defined in separate encoding files (*.enc).

Adding an encoding file to a device driver

To make an encoding file available to the StreamServer, you must add the encoding file to the custom device driver. See Adding device driver files in the Device driver tools documentation for more information. When you export and deploy the Project, the encoding file is added to the drivers directory.

Adding an encoding to a font entry

You must update the readfont entry (either in the driver file or in a font substitution table) to include the EncodingFile keyword and the path to the encoding file.
