select = CDATA

Specifies the operating system on which the FontName is used. The value must match one of the tokens generated by the application (for example, “Windows”). You can specify more than one selection. If any of the selections is equal to any of the selection criteria tokens, then the FontName matches. If this attribute is empty or not present, a FontName match is assumed.

encoding = CDATA

Indicates the encoding to be used with the specified font. Multi-byte (Unicode and PostScript CMaps) and 8-bit (cp125x, where x = 0-8; iso8859-x, where x = 1-10, 13-16) formats are supported.

simulate = normal | bold | italic | bolditalic

Specifies a font face to simulate. For example, if a font does not have a bold face font, you could specify bold. The default is normal.

simulateMode = PDF | reader

Specifies how to apply the simulation. PDF modifies the font within the PDF, by slanting the output for italics or using multiple registrations of characters for bold. reader sets a flag that tells the PDF viewer to render the simulation, which will work with standard PDF fonts. The default is reader.

type = SYS | TTF | PFA | PFB

Specifies the type of font, system (SYS) or a font outline file (.ttf, .pfa, or .pfb file). The default is SYS.

path = CDATA

Specifies the path and file name to the type of file (.ttf, .pfa, or .pfb) specified by type. If type = SYS, the path is ignored. If you specify a relative path, the path is relative to the custom directory.

metrics = CDATA

Specifies the metrics file (.afm or .pfm) to be used when type = PFA or PFB. If you do not specify a metrics file, Arbortext Editor searches for a .afm file with the same base file name as the PFA in the specified path.
