Aliases for Windows fonts
A font in Windows does not always have the same name as the comparable font on another platform. This often
happens because in Windows a variation such as Narrow is part of a font family, whereas on other platforms the
variation is an option independent of the font family. Moreover, Windows uses only regular and italic for angles,
while some fonts on other platforms have additional angles such as oblique. For more information about cross-
platform compatibility, see the online manual
Working on Multiple Platforms
.
Aliases for font angles and weights
Windows fonts use different font angles and weights, even when font names are the same as on other platforms. The
settings under
[FontAngleAliases]
and
[FontWeightAliases]
assign angles and weights used on other platforms to
Windows angles and weights. The defaults are:
[ Fo n t An g l e A l i a s e s ]
O b l i q u e d = O b l i q u e
[ Fo n t We i g h t A l i a s e s ]
Me d i u m = Re g u l a r
Ro m a n = Re g u l a r
S e m i = S e m i B o l d
D e m i = D e m i B o l d
B o l d e d = B o l d
Aliases for font names
Each setting under
[WindowsToFrameFontAliases]
assigns a Windows font to a FrameMaker font name. Thus, font
information appears in the Windows interface as it does in other versions of FrameMaker. For example, Helvetica
Narrow is normally a font family in Windows, but with aliasing Helvetica appears as a font family and Narrow
appears as a variation in the Character Designer and Paragraph Designer.
Font aliasing also makes it possible to go back and forth easily between Windows and other platforms. FrameMaker
automatically converts Windows fonts to their FrameMaker equivalents for you.
The settings under
[WindowsToFrameFontAliases]
use this syntax:
Windows-font [angle|*], [weight|*]=Frame
-
font [angle|*], [weight|*], [variation|*]
Windows-font
is a font family available in Windows. The angle for this font can be either
Regular
or
Italic
, and the
weight can be one of the weights defined in the font profile under
[Fonts]
. You can also use an asterisk (
*
) to specify
no particular angle or weight.
Frame-font
is a font family available on the other platforms. The angle, weight, and variation for this family can be
any of the ones defined in the font profile. If you use an asterisk (
*
), the FrameMaker font will use the angle, weight,
or variation from the Windows font.
For example, this setting assigns the Windows font family Helvetica Narrow to the FrameMaker font name Helvetica
with the Narrow variation:
He lve t i c a Na r row, * , * = He lve t i c a , * , * , Na r row
The two asterisks specify that angles and weights are not affected in this alias.
If you do not have an appropriate alias defined for a Windows font, the default alias is used:
Windows-font *, *=Frame-font *, *, *
