FONTEMBEDDING | NOFONTEMBEDDING
|
- FONTEMBEDDING
-
specifies to enable font embedding. This is the default.
- NOFONTEMBEDDING
-
specifies to disable font embedding.
When FONTEMBEDDING is set, fonts can be embedded, or included,
in the output files that are created by the Universal Printer and SAS/GRAPH.
Output files with embedded fonts do not rely on fonts being installed on the
computer that is used to view or print the output file. Embedding fonts increases
the file size.
When NOFONTEMBEDDING is set, the output files rely on the fonts being
installed on the computer that is used to view or print the font.
When you print or create PostScript files, if the specified
font is recognized by SAS but is not available on the printer, SAS substitutes
the most similar, standard font in the output. For example, the Helvetica
font would replace any occurrence of Albany AMT. This guarantees that the
printer is capable of printing the text.
To determine which fonts will be substituted for a given printer, use
the Print Setup window, the Registry Editor, or the REGEDIT procedure to display
the Printer Setup properties. Under Fonts, any
individual fonts that are listed will be recognized by the printer. All other
fonts, including those that are available via a link in the SAS Registry,
will be substituted in the document when the document is created.
