This will provide the true intended appearance for the text content, but the text will not be an editable text string - it will be Bezier path.

If this option is checked, and if embedded glyph information is available for a give font and code point (characer) then EazyDraw will 'draw' the glyph. If present this providea another method for generating text glyphs. The SVG specification provides a method to provide exact glyph paths for a given font.

It is planned to add the capability for PDF import. At this writing, this applies only for SVG import. The other use is when importing SVG and PDF from Wolfram Mathematica - then the Wolfram character map is used. The primary known use at the time of this writing is for import of SVG and PDF drawings made with Canvas X, where Symbol font is used. If the Symbol Font Character Map is chosen, these characters will be converted from their 'magic' ASCII values to corresponding unicode codes for Greek characters and math symbols. In an old drawing of 1980’s vintage technology, symbol font would be used for Greek characters or math symbols. EazyDraw provides 3 character maps: Symbol font,Wingdings font, and Wollfram Mathematica fonts.

It is used when importing a drawing that does not use unicode text encoding and uses non-ASCII characters. If Import is the direction the Mapped Font column may not have duplicate values and duplicate values are allowed for the macOS Font column.Ĭharacter Map is a unique function, it applies only for import. If Export is the direction, the macOS Font column may not have duplicate values, but duplicate values are allowed for the Mapped Font column. Remove an entry by selecting it in the table and clicking the remove button near the top left of the palette. After the entry and selection, check the values the click the Add button which will be the top left button on the palette (the name showing in this button is situation sensitive). Then select an macOS Font from the macOS Font popup menu. Upon Export, if a font matching the macOS name is used, the font name reference in the exported file is the 'Mapped Font' name.Ĭreate a new entry by typing a name for the External (Mapped) font in the text box near the top of the page. Upon Import, if a font with a name matching the 'Mapped Font' name is encountered the macOS font from the same row of the table is use in place of the font specified in the importing (our PDF / EPS ungrouping) drawing. The table shown in the middle of the palette has a column for font names for macOS (your Mac) and corresponding font names for the 'other' system. Make the appropriate selections for these to present the corresponding font map substitution table. Two key parameters are the File Type and Direction (Import or Export). This panel is accessed from the Font submenu found near the top of the Text main menu. Only one of these eight are shown in the font map table at a given time. This combination leads to eight independent font maps. Each file type can have different substitution maps for import and export. There are four file types supported, svg, dxf, pdf, and eps.

The Font Map palette provide a means to specify and manage these mappings. When exporting or importing vector drawings that contain styled text it may be necessary to substitute font faces for inter system compatibility.
