Available Fonts in Forms 9i

Hi,
I would like to know when more fonts will be supported in the Forms 9i run-time. Currently there are only 3 fonts available, ie. Courier New, Arial and Times New Roman.
We use Courier New, and have a problem with the underscore character "disappearing" because it is too low in the field. My users want a non-proportional font.
I have investigated the alternatives, including clientDPI and mapFont, but all have unacceptable side-affects.
Are there any plans to support additional fonts, and if so, when could this release be available.
Thanks,
Neville Sweet.

Neville,
Forms uses all the fonts listed in teh formsxx/java/oracle/forms/registry/registry.dat file. It's not Forms limiting the choice of fonts to use but the Java version that Forms is based upon. Java 1.4 has a new feature that allows you to drop true type fonts to the Java VM (I think the lib directory, but you better check with the SUN web page). This means that e.g. using the Java 1.4 plugin should help you to support more fonts on teh client side. As far as i know we didn't run tests with this (and so didn't I). But I am sure that following this route we are able to get more fonts supported in Forms. So the answer is yes, we are looking into this (no date attached to this right now)

LOV/List of available Fonts

Does anyone know how to get list of all available fonts on system?. I want to add available fonts to list item, or text item with LOV. using forms 6i
Thanks

i don't know how but I can give you a guide line. You can try.
create another c or vb program that will count font in you system and create a list to text file. Then call that program and get list from that text field. Because you can import text from text file to you form or list.

Yes.. you can just open the forms of 4.5 with Forms Designer 6.0.
The conversion takes place automatically, however, you might have
to take in consideration that if you are using certain fucntions
of Forms 4,5, in which some parameters are optional, then those
might be mandatory in Forms 6.0.
For e.g. Run_product.

Default Font in Forms 10g

I've been doing some development in Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) and I've noticed some differences between a form that has all the fonts set to Microsoft Sans Serif and a form that leaves the font property as <Unspecified>. When you create a new form and don't change the font in the Layout Editor the font is left as <Unspecified> in the property palette even though the Layout Editor shows the font as Microsoft Sans Serif.
What is the font that Forms uses when the font is set to <Unspecified> in the property palette?

I thk it is MsSanserif

How to embed font in Form Field

Hi All,
I have created Form with few fields,
I have used Chinesh licience font in form field and content; and i embeded the font in the pdf.
But, the font which i embeded is not appearing in the fields, and it's taking default "arial" instead of embeded(chinesh) font when i distribute the form to public users.
Those public has different OS windows/mac and different acrobat version, when i check Document Properties/Fonts/ the font are embeding with pdf
I know, If font not existing in local system, it would go to Arial, but i embeded the licienced font.
Why embeded font not supporting particularly in FormField?
I'm using Acrobat X Pro,
Please help to sove this issue.
Thanks in adv.
Cheers,
Saran

Normally when you choose a non-base-14 font for a field, the entire font will get embedded so it can be used with the fields. This is separate from any font embedding for regular text content in the PDF. But in the case of asian fonts, I don't think Acrobat will embed asian fonts for use with fields since they can be quite large.
Adobe distributes the Asian and Extended Language Font Pack so that users can fill forms, comment, etc. with the asian fonts it includes: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5508
Here's a bit more info: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS08EC9A35-484E-4ceb-B92A-9FADBC4CB267.w.h tml

How do you know what view is available to a form?

A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
How do you know what view is available to a form?

Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
baseContext=':variables.user'
And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.

How find the missing glyph using javascript [like indesign preflight], and replace same glyph available font or

The situation:
I want to use basetext font, but some of the glyphs are missing in it, and are highlighted with pink boxes. common font [stix, etc.] have much more glyphs than basetext font. I can apply common font [stix, etc.]manually for each of the missing glyphs or insert two character and use kerning set it up, but it is tedious.

Font in Forms 6i

Is there a way to set the default font in forms 6i? We're not using templates. The font defaults to Tahoma since I went to XP. It used to be MS Sans Serif.
TIA, Joe

Start regedit and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\oracle (your oracle home). If FORMS60_DEFAULTFONT is not there, you can create a string value and set it to something like "MS Sans Serif.8.Plain.medium". in other words, <font>.<size>.<style>.<weight>. This will now be the default that forms uses.
Good luck!

List of available fonts

Hi all.
I would like to get a list of all available fonts on a system and store the names in an array. I know that a getAllFonts method exists in the GraphicsEnvironment class, but it's abstract. Are there any common implementations? Or are there any better ways to get the list (I would prefer to not extend my class any further)? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Going back to your followup post - the function to
return a concrete instance seems to be class
specific, so then how do I know what the given
function should be, You check the API.
i.e. there was no
getLocalGraphicsEnvironment() function in the API
spec?Look again:
[url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/GraphicsEnvironment.html#getLocalGraphicsEnvironment()]getLocalGraphicsEnvironment

CS2 Not reading all available fonts

Hello,
I just purchased a new Dell with an XP Professional Downgrade software package and have installed my CS2 Creative Suite on it.
When I open either Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, it appears many standard fonts (found in Control Panel / Fonts) , including 'Arial Black' are not available, though on my Adobe Acrobat Professional they are. (They are also available in my Microsoft Word Software).
I have read a few adobe trouble reports of this being a problem in InDesign, but the problems there are not what I am having.
When I open up say Photoshop and create a document, in the available fonts, my first choice begins with 'Agency FB', followed by 'Algerian', then 'Arial', and then 'Arial Rounded'. This is the same in Illustrator and InDesign.
Yet in Adobe Acrobat, missing fonts such as 'Arial Black', 'Arial Narrow' are available.
Also, in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts ..... there are fonts there that are available in Adobe Acrobat, but not in my Photoshop, like Adobe Caslon Pro.
Anyone have any ideas as to why my Photoshop, Illustator or InDesign are not reading all available fonts?
Again, I transferred my CS2 from an older computer to a Dell that is equipped with Windows Vista Business with the Downgrade to Windows XP Professional.
I know CS2 is not compatible with Windows Vista, but I was under the understanding that the Downgrade to Windows XP Pro would give me a Windows XP Pro Operating system, avoiding the problem of my CS2 not being compatible with Windows Vista.
Everything else appears to be working properly (as far as I can see)
Thanks in advance for any help / insight / solutions.
Greg
