HPOS 3.5 - Generating the font entries file and update the mffpcl.pro file

HP Output Server 3.5 3
Generating the font entries file and update the mffpcl.pro file
Solution
Example
Assuming the font_file_name that you are using is helr45.ttf (and the font is Helvetica), then the entry to
be added in mffpcl.pro is fontfile=helr45. The second entry is the same for all the pairs.
NOTE: Back up the mffpcl.pro file before adding any entries to it.
The complete entry is as follows:
<font family="Helvetica" serifstyle="SANSSERIF" spacing="PROPORTIONAL"
typeface="24580">
<face devname="Helvetica" style="UPRIGHT" weight="MEDIUM" width="NORMAL"
fontfile=”helr45” fontfiletype=”TrueType”/>
</font>
NOTE: The name of the “helr45” font file is “helr45.ttf”.
Now, you can update the $DAZEL_HOME/etc/mffpcl.pro file.
In the mffpcl.pro file, search for the <fontlist> tag. Place the new font entry after the <fontlist>tag,
between <fontlist> … </fontlist>.
NOTE: You should copy all the pairs of font tags carefully. If there is any mismatch of tags, the
PCL transformer will not work properly.
The cpmcopy server must be restarted after updating the $DAZEL_HOME/etc/mffpcl.pro file.
Execute the stop_xform_server.pl script to stop the cpmcopy server. The cpmcopy server is started
automatically when the next PCL job is submitted.
