AutoScript® - Font Substitutions
Both PostScript and Windows fonts are output based on their names. The means the AutoScript uses to get the right font names is a substitution based on the AutoCad style name. It is easier to spell any of many various standard (PostScript abbreviation) style names than it is to type in the actual font names.
Font Substitution Table - With Lookup Table
| Font names are related to AutoCad Style names. Styles
in AutoCad are user names for memory structures which keep the names of
screen fonts to use along with default size, angle, etc.
In AutoScript we use the style name as a key to tell us which PostScript font name to use. This is a substitution table. |
|
| The font settings dialog allows us to see all the styles
used in the drawing along with the currently assigned font which will be
used in the PS output for that style.
The Lookup Table allows us to re-assign the style to any font in the database (a FoxBase database). |
