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:
HelveticaNarrow, * , *=Helvetica, * , * , Narrow
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 *, *, *
You can add more aliases to [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] and change
existing ones. Follow the syntax for any changes you make.
