Hi Peter
Incidentally, I had to look into IBM's TypeTransformer for a client
recently. I haven't gone the raster font route. I had some problems
there. Instead, I produced an outline font from a Type 1 font. Here's
what I did:
- Choose a Type 1 font in TypeTransformer (I took Sansa-Normal)
- Leave the Sizes empty.
- Choose "AFP Outline" as output font. Uncheck bitmap fonts.
- Leave character filters empty (remove them if present).
- Start the job.
--> that should produce a good OLN font with as many characters as are
available in the
Type 1 font.
- Remove the ".OLN" at the end.
- Add a configuration entry like this:
<font>
<afp-font type="outline" codepage="T1EDO500" encoding="Cp500"
characterset="CZA282 "
path="C:\Program Files\IBM\Type Transformer\DUVTT\JOBPATH\T1A"/>
<font-triplet name="Sansa" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
Of course, you should also be able to use a different codepage, but
Cp500/T1EDO500 worked fine for me incl. German Umlauts, but except, for
some reason, the exclamation mark. I haven't investigated more closely,
yet. The codepage basically just selects the 8-bit subset you want to
work with. You just have to make sure your selected codepage has as many
of the font's characters mapped so you get most of the 256 (8-bit) character
set as possible.
So I assume a similar approach should work in your case. Your "Resource
not found: T1000893" means you may need to move the code page file to
the same place as the character set. And you should consider using
absolute URIs instead of relative paths. Relative paths are usually
resolved based on the current directory of the application. "base-uri"
and "path" are pretty much interchangeable: "base-uri" expects a URI,
"path" a file system path.
