G e ting Familiar with Soft-fonts and Barcodes<br />

This example will bring us through all the menu items under 4. Work With Fonts.<br />

At the end of this section we will have made the following:<br />

1. Installed the TrueType Font ARIAL from the PC environment and stored it as a resource<br />

(soft font member).<br />

2. Created a Code128 bar code. That includes a soft font, which is assigned to a font<br />

number and specified to download the soft font when used.<br />

3. Created a font number (5001) to be used with the arial soft font.<br />

®<br />

4. Defined that the OCR-B soft font delivered with <strong>InterForm</strong>400 is to be downloaded to<br />

any printer queue automatically when the font number 3 is used in overlays, and defined<br />

that ARIAL soft font is to be downloaded whenever font number 5001 is used.<br />

In order to get the exact result as described in the following it would require you to have a PCL5<br />

compatible printer assigned to printer queue AFC_OUT1.<br />

Step 1. Installing the Arial True Type Font<br />

In the following we install the True Type Font directly from the /APF3812Home/W ork directory:<br />

Note: This procedure is describing how to install a TTF file to be used for printing (PCL). If the<br />

TTF file is to be used for PDF output, the procedure is different (see page 309).<br />

1. Upload the TTF file to the /APF3812Home/W ork directory.<br />

®<br />

2. From the <strong>InterForm</strong>400 main menu select option 80. Administering <strong>InterForm</strong> 400, 4.<br />

Work with fonts and 4. Work with Soft Fonts for PCL. Press F6=Create.<br />

This screen is presented:<br />

Install TrueType font to PCL from /APF3812Home/Work FNT431D<br />

Document name . . . . . . . ____________ F4=List<br />

F3=Exit F12=Cancel<br />

You can either write the name of the TTF file to be installed or prompt with F4, to get a<br />

list of all files in the /APF3812Home/Work directory. Select the TTF file here with option<br />

‘1'. Press Enter.<br />
