Specifying Metacode Fonts

The Metacode Font Specification window lets you specify the fonts used in a Metacode print stream. You only need to specify Metacode fonts with this window if the DJDE FONTS parameter is not in the print stream. In most cases you do not need to specify Metacode fonts.

Note: Font files must not have a file extension. Remove the extension from the file name before using the font with Visual Engineer.

To access this window, open the control file that references the Metacode print stream then select Options > Metacode Fonts. Be sure to enter the fonts in the same order as they are specified in the print stream's JSL.

The following fields and buttons are available:

  • Font Name: Enter the name of the font.
  • Add: Click this button to add the font name to the font list.
  • Font List: Lists all of the fonts defined for the print stream.
  • Remove: Click this button to remove the highlighted font from the Resources List field.
  • Up: Moves the selected font up in the order of precedence. The fonts listed in the Font List field must be listed in same order as they appear in the print stream's JSL.
  • Down: Moves the selected font down in the order of precedence. The fonts listed in the Fonts List must be listed in the same order as they appear in the print stream's JSL.
