InfoPrint Font Collection

The InfoPrint Font Collection consists of character sets and Advanced Function Presentation^™ (AFP^™) code pages that let you print standard documents using familiar typefaces such as Helvetica, Times New Roman and Courier. The code pages allow you to print in more than 50 languages.

To support certain applications or low-resolution AFP/Intelligent Print Data Stream^™ (IPDS^™) printers that use raster fonts, the InfoPrint Font Collection also includes AFP raster fonts. AFP outline fonts, which are delivered as part of the InfoPrint Font Collection, can be substituted for raster fonts in certain situations to enable higher resolution output. In addition, the InfoPrint Font Collection provides WorldType fonts, which are TrueType/OpenType fonts that deliver the greatest flexibility for designing documents with exactly the appearance you want.

InfoPrint Font Collection How It Works

InfoPrint fonts are installed on the server(s) on which your AFP jobs will be printed. When a font reference is encountered while processing a print job, the appropriate libraries are accessed and the fonts are downloaded to the printer, if they are not already resident or active in the printer.

On the application side, many document composition products access font libraries on the system on which your document is being created in order to obtain the correct metrics, or spacing for the fonts on the page. This is an important function to realize the document layout you intend when you design the document.

The InfoPrint Font Collection can offer:
