You can create modifications such as positioning overrides and character alterations to a specific font. These modifications are applied to a font that matches a combination of the Code Page Name, Font Character Set Name, and Coded Font Name. Mappings may leave the Font Character Set Name or Coded Font Name blank if the override is applied to every font using a particular code page.
