Remarks

The IFontMapEnvironment interface tracks the collection of FontMap objects that have been defined and allows for additional settings for the
default font mapping to use with the PostScript driver. Use this interface when you want to control the set of fonts used by the PostScript driver. The FontMapCollection property returns a collection object to allow the developer to add and remove FontMap objects. Since the
FontMapCollection property is read-only, you cannot create your own FontMapCollection object; you must instead manipulate the existing one.

 

The ArcMap application sets up a default list of font mappings whenever a PostScript Printer is selected.  ArcObjects developers are responsible for setting this up themselves.  See the example code for a demonstration of how to do this.
