Answer:
Paul,

With regards to 1 and 2, when information from Microsoft Word or RTF documents is imported into a DOORS Module, a Module level attribute called "Font Table" may be created and populated with non-default font table entries. The DOORS DXL manual states that these entries are “used for mapping richtext font markup to character set information to override embedded font markup.”

In previous versions of DOORS, I have had some undesirable fonts displayed in the Object Text for some objects, and found that deleting the font table helped. There is a DXL command "deleteFontTable( current Module )" available in versions of DOORS prior to 7.x. If you run it in 7.x it generates the message "deleteFontTable() has no effect in this version of DOORS".

I covered some of this in my "DOORS Rich Text - Behind the Markup" presentation, available here.

The "Font Table" attribute contains information which maps the 'fN' Rich Text control words to actual font descriptions. My questions are:

1. How and when does DOORS set the data in this attribute?

2. How and when does DOORS use the data in this attribute?

3. I made the attribute read-only for all users and groups, but DOORS still changed its value. How is this possible?

Could you give an example?

I tried creating a module level text/string attribute called "Font Table" and
put fonttables in there but nothing happened when i tried to use those fonts.

This is exactly what I put in the attribute:

{\\f1016\\fswiss\\fcharset134 Courier;}
