MIF Reference
69
When the MIF interpreter reads a
Font
statement, it continues using the character format properties until it either
reads another
Font
statement or reads the end of the
Para
statement. You can set the character format back to its
previous state by providing an empty
FTag
statement. A
Font
statement that does not supply all property substate-
ments inherits the current font state for those properties not supplied.
For more information about creating and applying character formats in a MIF file, see
“Creating and applying
character formats” on page 23
. For more information about character formats in general, see your user’s manual
.
Usage of some aspects of the
PgfFont
and
Font
statements is described in the following sections.
Locked fonts and text insets
The
FLocked
statement does not correspond to any setting in the Character Designer. The statement is used for text
insets that retain formatting information from the source document.
If the
<FLocked Yes>
statement appears in a specific character format, that character format is part of a text inset
that retains formatting information from the source document. The character format is not affected by global
formatting performed on the document.
If the
<FLocked No>
statement appears in a specific character format, either that character format is not part of a
text inset, or that character format is part of a text inset that reads formatting information from the current
document. The character format is affected by global formatting performed on the document.
For more information about text insets, see
“Text insets (text imported by reference)” on page 130
.
Font name
When a
PgfFont
or
Font
statement includes all of the family, angle, weight, and variation properties, FrameMaker
identifies the font in one or more of the following ways:
•
The statement
FPlatformName
specifies a font name that uniquely identifies the font on a specific platform.
•
The statements
FFamily
,
FAngle
,
FWeight
, and
FVar
specify how FrameMaker stores font information inter-
nally.
•
The statement
FPostScriptName
specifies the name given to a font when it is sent to a PostScript printer (specif-
ically, the name that would be passed to the PostScript
FindFont
operator before any font coordination operations).
The PostScript name is unique for all PostScript fonts, but may not be available for fonts that have no PostScript
version.
For complete font specifications, FrameMaker always writes the
FFamily
,
FAngle
,
FWeight
,
FVar
, and
FPost-
ScriptName
statements. In addition, the Windows version of FrameMaker also writes the
FPlatformName
statement. A UNIX version of FrameMaker ignores
FPlatformName
.
When FrameMaker reads a MIF file that includes more than one way of identifying a font, it checks the font name
in the following order:
1
Platform name
2
Combination of family, angle, weight, and variation properties
3
PostScript name
If you are writing filters to generate MIF, you do not need to use all three methods. You should always specify the
PostScript name, if it is available. You should use the platform name only if your filter will be run on a specific
platform. A filter running on a specific platform can easily find and write out the platform name, but the name
cannot be used on other platforms.
Font encoding
The
<FEncoding>
statement specifies which encoding to use for a font. The default is Roman, or standard 7-bit
encoding. If this statement is not included for a font, 7-bit encoding is assumed.
