Liquent InSight Rendering 4.4 Administration

Font Substitution Options

To configure Domain Manager, you can set PDF options for rendered PDF documents.

When creating published PDF output from InSight, InSight Rendering substitutes Windows fonts for PDF postscript fonts in the PDF.

Out-of-the-box,  InSight Rendering maps many of the commonly occuring postscript fonts to their Windows font equivalent for substitution. Using the Font Substitution tab, you can define the mapping for fonts.

You can select the default Window font for all PDF postscript fonts by going to the Default Window font box and clicking the font.

To override the default Window font for a specific PDF postscript font:
  1. On the Font Substitution tab, in the table at the bottom, right-click anywhere.
  2. Click New font substitute.
  3. On the New Font Substitute Properties page, in the PDF font box, type the PDF font name.
  4. In the Windows font box, click the Windows font that you want to substitute for the PDF font.

    Where Office 2013 is installed throughout the InSight Rendering domain, select Arial Unicode MS. This has all of the characters that will be needed for most languages.

    Where there is at least one instance of Office 2016 installed in the InSight Rendering domain, use the following as a guide (select any font that will work; these are merely suggestions):

    • Arial - Latin characters
    • Meiryo - Japanese characters
    • PMingLiU - Traditional Chinese (Taiwan/HK/Macau) characters
    • SimSun - Simplified Chinese (P.R.C. Mainland/Singapore) characters
    • Betang - Korean characters
  5. Click OK.
