[postscript]

The [postscript] section of the initialization file defines logical fonts that override those used by default when printing to PostScript on Windows.

[postscript]
LogicalFont=FontName,PointSize 

[postscript] 
Label: Times-Bold 12

Arguments

  • LogicalFont—logical font name as defined in the [screen] section of usys.ini.
  • FontName—name of a font for which an Adobe Metric Font file (.afm) is available in \common\afm. The following fonts are available by default: Courier, Helvetica, and Times-Roman, as well as the variations Bold, Oblique, and BoldOblique. For example, Helvetica-BoldOblique.
  • PointSize—number representing the size of the font in points.
Note:  It is possible to use font definitions that have the same format as the [screen] font definitions (for example, Label=Courier,Western,8,regular) but the language and style definitions (western and regular) are ignored.

Description

By default, the [postscript] section is not needed and is not present in the default usys.ini file. Add it only to specify font definitions to override the default values. Be aware of the effect this can have on your output. For more information, see Default Font Configuration for PostScript.

Note:  To configure PostScript fonts on Unix, use the [FONTS} section of the psdef.txt file.
