Associating Fonts with Character Sets for Display
You can configure a system font for a character set so Arbortext Editor can recognize it.
1. Copy the default file Arbortext Pfad\lib\wcharset.cf. See the comments in the file for more information.
2. Add an entry to the new file associating the system font with the character set following this format:
character set name=font name
◦ character set name to the left of the equal sign specifies the character set name as defined on the charset: line in the character set's .cf file
◦ the font name to the right of the equal sign is the associated system font name
In the following example, the entry Marlett=Marlett shows that the character set and font have the same name. This is not always the case.
Marlett=Marlett
win_1251=Helvetica Cyr Upright
win_1250=Courier CE
iso_latin5=HelveticaL5
iso_latin7=HelveticaL7
3. Save and close the file.
If you want to make a custom wcharset.cf file automatically available, use the Arbortext Pfad\custom\lib directory to load it automatically upon startup (avoiding the need to set an environment variable). If you create a custom wcharset.cf file for a particular locale, you can put it the appropriate subdirectory of Arbortext Pfad\custom\lib\locale.
