Determining Fonts
You use the [FONTS] section in the WWI.INI file to determine the font for reports.
In this section, fonts are assigned to the Microsoft code pages for different character sets. Fonts in the same font family must appear at the same position in the list.
In the standard system, the section includes the following entries:
[FONTS]
1160=Times New Roman,Arial,Courier New
1704=Times New Roman Greek,Arial Greek,Courier New Greek
1504=Times New Roman Cyr,Arial Cyr,Courier New Cyr
1404=Times New Roman CE,Arial CE,Courier New CE
1614=Times New Roman Tur,Arial Tur,Courier New Tur
1904=Times New Roman Baltic,Arial Baltic,Courier New Baltic
8000=MS Gothic
8300=MingLiU
8400=MS Song
8500=GulimChe
8604=Tahoma
Example
You want to generate a label in Arial with Greek texts on a German PC. Reformatting is required for the Greek text: The Windows Wordprocessor Integration
(WWI) program determines the second position from the [FONTS] section for the font Arial
and uses the font that is specified at the second position for the code page 1704, in other words Arial Greek
.
This section should be regarded as a table. In the table, the columns determine how a particular font must be replaced, depending on the code page. If a row in a code page contains fewer fonts than the starting row that corresponds to the code page for the report template, the last font in the row replaces all remaining fonts in the starting row. In the example shipped with the system, the fonts Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New for the report template are replaced on a Japanese report by MS Gothic.
