AW: [cgmo-webcgm] non-existent ACI font substition issue

[Ulrich Läsche <ulrich@cgmtech.de>]

Don,

I would opt for "ignore" since switching to DefaultFont is not what the
script writer intended.

Regards
Ulrich

All


There seems to be an issue regarding what the viewer should 
do when when a substitution of a non-existent font occurs in 
an ACI file. For example, the CGM contains a Helvetica font and 
the ACI specifies that "Bogus" is to be substituted for Helvetica 
but "Bogus" font does not exist on the users system.  

 <fontMap>
   <maplist forceSubstitution="yes"
     cgmFont="Helvetica"
    substitutionList="Bogus"/>
 </fontMap>


What to do, ignore this substitution or use defaultFont?


Regards,
Don
