HECK ORMS OMPOSER AND PRINTER SETTINGS

stream have been properly configured. For more information, see the Forms Composer documentation.

HECK THAT FONT MAPPING HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN
The fonts.dat file in the Forms Composer directory specifies which fonts are used for font families with nonstandard
names. The format for the information contained in the fonts.dat file follows the convention font name,
regular, bold, italic, bold italic. These entries specify which fonts Forms Composer uses under
which circumstances.
For example, an entry for the Bookman font family in the fonts.dat file might read Bookman, Bookman,
Bookman Demi, Bookman Italic, Bookman Demi Italic, such as for all instances of Bookman in
boldface, Forms Composer uses the font Bookman Demi.
Note: The fonts.dat file only specifies usage for font families with nonstandard names. Thus, a font such as Courier
that uses Courier, Courier Bold, Courier Italic, and Courier Bold Italic will not be listed.
To check or alter the fonts.dat file:
1
From the Forms Composer directory, open fonts.dat using a text editor.
2
Make necessary changes to the file.
3
Save the file as fonts.dat into the same directory.
C
HECK THAT FONT MAPPING HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED ON THE PRINTER
Forms and Bar Code Card relies on font mapping to specify which fonts are used under which circumstances. The
information is contained in the manager.upr file that resides in the Forms Manager directory. When you add a printer
to Forms Manager, the manager.upr file is written to it.
To check or alter the manager.upr file for a particular printer:
1
From the Forms Manager\Fonts directory, open manager.upr using a text editor.
2
Make necessary changes to the file.
3
Save the file as manager.upr into the same directory, and then delete the manager.bak file.
4
From Forms Manager, delete the printer and its associated files, and then add the printer you just deleted.
Note: See the Forms Manager documentation for more information on adding and deleting printers.

HANGE THE FONTS IN
