The GGFontEmulation procset


This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP


The GGFontEmulation procset is used to control font emulation within the Harlequin RIP. It contains two entry points:

  • Emulate – start font emulation

  • StopEmulation – disable font emulation.

For example:

/GGFontEmulation /ProcSet findresource /Emulate get exec

Note: If using HqnMissingFonts and font emulation together, the call to GGFontEmulation must come first.

There are options to:

  • Disable font emulation for specific fonts.

  • Alias a font in the emulation database so that an identical font with a different name can be emulated.

  • Add or override fonts in the emulation database.

A font can be emulated according to specific rules when a font is not found or when a font causes an error.
