@ The SoftFont kits have been retired and are no longer sold. The C information in this chapter is included for reference only. |
- This appendix discusses the following topics:
E PostScript provides a character set encoded using the Adobe Standard = Encoding vector. When a PostScript program calls a font, the A findfont operator uses this vector to associate characters with character codes.
@ PostScript also provides the ISO Latin-1 encoding vector, named F ISOLatin1Encoding, which is the encoding scheme used by the ISO Latin D Alphabet Number 1 Standard (ISO 8859/1). Most PostScript text fonts E provide all the characters used in the ISO Latin-1 encoding. See the m PostScript Printers Programmer's Supplement for a list of the characters included in the ISO Latin Alphabet Number 1 Standard.
= In addition to Adobe Standard and ISO Latin-1 encodings, the L DECprint Supervisor software offers the DECMCS (DEC Multinational Character j Set) encoding. See the PostScript Printers Programmer's Supplement for a list of the characters 0 included in the DEC Multinational Character Set.
H Characters in the ISO Latin-1 and DECMCS encodings do not have separate F font metrics files (.AFM files). (For more information on .AFM files, f refer to the PostScript Printers Programmer's Supplement.) If you need to look up character G information in a font metrics file, look up the character by its name, not by its encoding. ` E.2 Examples of Encoding Vectors
Example E-1 demonstrates how to define the DECMCS encoding vector. l See the PostScript Printers Programmer's Supplement for more information about how these encoding vectors are defined.
E The encoding vector DECMCSEncoding is defined by changing the vector ISOLatin1Encoding.&
| Example E-1 Defining the DECMCS Encoding Vector |
|---|
|
" %! DECMCSEncoding.PS % D % Create DEC Multinational Character Set (MCS) encoding vector. 9 /DECMCSEncoding ISOLatin1Encoding 256 array copy def mark 6 8#177 8#240 8#244 8#246 8#254 8#255 8#256 8#257 6 8#264 8#270 8#276 8#320 8#336 8#360 8#376 8#377 counttomark . {DECMCSEncoding exch /questionmirror put} repeat % stack now contains mark 8#250 /currency 8#327 /OE 8#335 /Ydieresis 8#367 /oe 8#375 /ydieresis counttomark 2 idiv " {DECMCSEncoding 3 1 roll put} repeat % stack now contains mark cleartomark |
D To use a character encoding other than the Adobe Standard Encoding, follow these steps:
|
" /encodefont { = findfont dup % Get the old font dict. B maxlength dict begin % Make a new one just as big. ? { 1 index /FID ne % Copy everything but FID. { def } { pop pop } ifelse } forall @ /Encoding exch def % Install the new encoding. F dup /FontName exch def % New font dict is still current. ; currentdict definefont % Create the new font. end } bind def |
|
" - /Times-Roman-ISOLatin1 ISOLatin1Encoding $ /Times-Roman encodefont 12 scalefont setfont |
|
" - /Times-Roman-ISOLatin1 ISOLatin1Encoding ( /Times-Roman encodefont pop . . .9 /Times-Roman-ISOLatin1 findfont 12 scalefont setfont |
E To use the DECMCS encoding, you must also include the device control G library module (LPS$DECMCSENCODING) that defines this encoding vector. F The LPS$DECMCSENCODING module provides encoding vectors only. It does D not define characters that were undefined in versions of PostScript lower than Version 40.
z Example E-1 shows how the DECMCS encoding vector is defined. v E.4 Including the DECMCS Encoding Module in a Print Job
: To use the DECMCS encoding modules, specify the following:
|
" 7 $ PRINT/SETUP=(LPS$DECMCSENCODING) filename.PS |
G For PostScript printers that use a version of PostScript Level 1 lower G than Version 40, you may need to define an ISO Latin-1 encoding vector G to print PostScript files that use this encoding. For example, suppose E you have a PostScript program that requires the ISO Latin-1 encoding > vector to print on a typesetter that uses an early version of PostScript.
E In this case, you can use the encodefont procedure, C but you also have to define the ISO Latin-1 encoding vector in the G prologue of your PostScript program. Extract the LPS$ISOLATIN1ENCODING ' module from the device control library:
|
" ? $ LIBRARY /EXTRACT=LPS$ISOLATIN1ENCODING - R _$ /OUTPUT=ISOLATIN1ENCODING.PS /TEXT SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$DEVCTL |
E The LPS$ISOLATIN1ENCODING module provides encoding vectors only. The E module does not define characters that were undefined in versions of ! PostScript lower than Version 40.
