Specifying Code Pages

When using the MRG2FAP utitliy, you can use font definition files to specify the code pages you want to use in a document. The system loads these files as it loads the AFP print stream. For instance, you can use...

Note Prior to version 11.1, Documaker Server handled traditional AFP font resources (character sets, code pages, and coded fonts), but only allowed you to use a single, default code page for each document. The AFP loader translated input AFP text from EBCDIC to ASCII using a default EBCDIC code page.

Here is a brief summary of the font definition files you can use to specify code pages:

File

Description

CODED.FNT

The coded font definitions. This file specifies which AFP code page and AFP font character set make up the coded font.

CPDEF.FNT

The code page definitions. This file maps each AFP code page to a Windows character set.

CPGID.CP

The code page map file. This file contains the character identifiers (and associated EBCDIC hexadecimal code points) for an IBM code page and maps them to character identifiers (and associated ASCII code points) for a Windows ANSI or SYMBOL character set.
