FIXFNT

Use this utility to test and fix Xerox fonts so you can use them with optimized Metacode. If you notice that text prints in the wrong location on the page when a Metacode print stream is optimized but prints correctly when not optimized, you may be using a font that needs to be corrected.

See METOPT for more information about optimizing Metacode print streams.

Note Docuview, which is part of Docusave Workstation, requires Xerox resources to be padded to fill 512 byte blocks. This includes Xerox fonts. Some old Xerox fonts built with prior versions of the system do not meet this criteria. You can use this utility to read and update those Xerox fonts so they can be used by Docuview.

Program names

Syntax

FIXFNT /I /T

Parameter

Description

/I

The name of the FNT file. You can use asterisks (*) as wildcards.

/T

Add this parameter if you only want to test the Xerox font.

Use the /T option to test any Xerox font to see if it can be used with Metacode optimization.

Once this utility finishes, download the corrected fonts to the printer to eliminate the problem.

Note Before version 10.0, graphics converted to Xerox fonts contained font specification table entries that prevent them from being used with Metacode optimization. In most cases, this is not an issue if LOG files are placed on forms. To cause a problem with Metacode optimization, you must use a text label instead of a LOG file for printing a signature or graphics file and the Xerox signature font must be inserted into the FXR file.
