FontDPSAFM
The FontDPSAFM keyword identifies the directory in which font metrics are
stored. Font metrics provide information about each font that improves
kerning. At initialisation, the application creates links in the directory
/usr/discreet/font that point to font metric files in the directory identified by
this keyword.
The FontDPSAFM keyword uses the following syntax
FontDPSAFM <directory_path>
where <directory_path> identifies the directory in which font metrics are
stored.
Example of use
FontDPSAFM /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
If you do not specify a directory pathname, the application uses
/usr/lib/DPS/AFM. In most cases this directory—created when you installed the
Display PostScript software as part of the installation—should be the one
identified by the FontDPSAFM keyword.
FontProxyLowString
The FontProxyLowString keyword, along with the FontProxyHighString
keword, specifies which characters to draw in font proxies. By default, the
proxy string is “Aa”. You can override the default string for non-extended
character sets by uncommenting and editing the FontProxyLowString
keyword option.
Both FontProxyLowString and FontProxyHighString keyword options
can be uncommented at the same time. Extended character sets try the
FontProxyHighString keyword first. If the values in the
FontProxyHighString keyword option do not apply to the font, the
FontProxyLowString keyword option is used instead.
The FontProxyLowString keyword uses the following syntax
