Esri Defense Mapping
For production of some hard-copy products, such as Joint Operations Graphics (JOGs) and Topographic Line Maps (TLMs), the Zurich family of fonts, and barcode fonts are required. These must be purchased from a third-party vendor.
Zurich fonts
Esri Defense Mapping supports many topographic map products that require the use of Zurich fonts. This requirement is a result of the individual map product specifications. The 12 required Zurich Bitstream (BT) OpenType and TrueType fonts (TTF) are commercially available from a variety of online type foundries. The individual fonts, often sold in packages based on font family, are listed in the table below.
| Font names | Font family |
|---|---|
Zurich BT Zurich Italic BT Zurich Bold BT Zurich Bold Italic BT | Zurich BT |
Zurich Condensed BT Zurich Condensed Italic BT Zurich Bold Condensed BT Zurich Bold Condensed Italic BT | Zurich Condensed BT |
Zurich Light Condensed BT Zurich Light Condensed Italic BT | Zurich Light Condensed BT |
Barcode fonts
Defense Mapping supports many topographic map products that require the use of a Code 39 barcode font. This requirement is the result of individual map product specifications that reference MIL-STD-2414A and ANSI/AIM BC1/1995.
Many Defense Mapping map documents use the Code39-Regular-E (TTF) barcode font, which is recommended by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
