Define Trusted Font List - DEPRECATED

Purpose

Define Trusted Font List is a wrapper-extended ASCII opcode intended to list all "trusted" non-standard fonts. In WHIP! version 0.55, WHIP! data creators were given the flexibility of embedding subsetted information on fonts used in the current WHIP! data document or on the target system,  assuming the presence of certain fonts — "trusted fonts."  WHIP! data creators can use the Define Embedded Font opcode for embedding subsetted information on certain fonts that they wish to embed; and, they can use the Define Trusted Font List opcode for other fonts that they specify to be "trusted" as present in the target system.

Extended ASCII (NonStdFontList <'fontname0''fontname1''fontname2'...... ) -
Details True type text is currently handled in WHIP! data by putting the name of the font into the file along with text position, size and the text string. If the user viewing the WHIP! data doesn't have the same font used by the creator of the WHIP! data, unpredictable output could be the result. In order to make WHIP! data truly "plot ready," that is, to display and plot text with the intended font, it is necessary to embed information about the non-standard (standard fonts are the fonts which are installed by either Autocad or Windows) fonts in WHIP! data. Non-standard fonts are categorized into fonts that are "trusted" to be present on the target system (non-standard-non-embedded font) and fonts whose information is captured in WHIP! data either by embedding or by tessellation.

Sample:

(NonStdFontList ‘Aabced’ ‘AaronBold’ ‘Abadi MT Condensed Light’)
The sample opcode assumes the presence of the mentioned 3 nonstandard fonts to be present in the target system.
