Font Mapping/Datacard Converted Fonts
This feature was developed for customers who call out fonts in their data on a
Datacard 9000 system, using “Datacard Converted Fonts”, and wish to use the
same data on an MX Series or Maxsys system.
Font Mapping Procedure
This procedure will enable you to use existing font data and then map this data to
a Windows TrueType font that exists in the system.
1. Fi
rst, create a file named “dccFontmap.ini” in the \Maxsys\cfg,
\MX2000\cfg directory or \MX6000\cfg directory. A sample dccFontmap.ini
file exists in the MX6000\Fonts, MX2000\Fonts, or Maxsys\Fonts directory.
This sample file contains all the default dcc font mapping.
2. I
f changes to these fonts are required or additional mappings are needed,
alter this file and then copy it into the MX6000\cfg, MX2000\cfg, or
Maxsys\cfg directory.
3. Use the following examples
as the basis for the code you will type into the
file. The syntax is explained below. Save the file after the information is
entered.
G//F01=ARIAL11/D01=TEST~// (This appears in the data)
Sample Entry in the INI file:
[ARIAL11]
ttfName=Arial (This is listed as “TypeFace name” when viewing the Font
in Windows Pale
tte.)
ttfFile=ARIAL.TTF (The actual file name of the Font)
pointSize=11 (Must be vali
d, or will error)
bold=FALSE
italic=FALSE
• If there are two entries in the INI file, only the last entry is valid.
The first one is ignored.
• The entry “ttfFile=” is ignored at this time. It must exist, but the
file name is not checked.
