In both openSUSE Tumbleweed, and Mageia 6, /usr/share/enscript/afm/font.map and /etc/enscript/font.map have the same content 'out-of-the-box', that content being a list of font names and font file names. The list represents the postscript fonts installed within the Samsung M3320 printer. All of that works perfectly.

A sample line reads: AvantGarde-Demi agd

I want to make other fonts available from the desktop, most particularly inconsolata. I'm aware that enscript is not going to 'see' this font and make use of it, unless it is in the ~enscript/afm/font.map.

How do I get it there?

The font family is: /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Inconsolata/Inconsolata.otf.

FWIW, the Desktop is GNOME, and at this point the Tweak Tool Font is set to 'Inconsolata-Regular 11' which displays correctly.

Thanks for reading this and possibly throwing a hint or two my way. It would be appreciated.

Well, that printer understands PDF 1.7 language, so it can use fonts directly from applications. I can't find much information on that line of printers, but it's a really nice printer. The CUPS system will print directly to PDF format.

Thanks so much for responding.
The M3320 itself is working just fine on both Mageia 6 and openSUSE Tumbleweed. The problem seems to be with enscript being unable (or perhaps unwilling??) to recognize any font other than those defined in /etc/enscript/font.map, which are the PS fonts resident in the printer itself. I can't seem to get off this treadmill.

Both operating systems behave in the same way. That is true whether I configure the printer with cups alone or with Samsung's ULD along with cups.In /etc/enscript.cfg I have continued to change PostscriptLevel from 2 to 3, changed the printer ID from '#Printers' to 'Printer: M3320' and uncommented '# SetPageDeviceUplex:True' because they all work as expected.

Have also looked at posts suggesting I need to somehow add /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Inconsolata/Inconsolate.otf to enscript's font.map so it can find it, but I'm confused about how to do that. The whole idea, of course, is to use Inconsolata fonts for coding. The GNOME desktop tweak-tool handles that task with ease. Again, everything seems to point to enscript's undefined needs.

Thanks again for offering your help.

you provided a sample line in post #1.
what format does encrypt use here?
you need to find that out.

surely there's some documentation in

1. local man pages
2. local documentation (usually in /usr/doc, but see a list of files installed for the software in question)
3. online documentation

?

then you need to construct the same format for inconsalata, and add it to the file(s) in question.
