Changing Fonts to a new font not defined in OBIEE

We are doing a rebranding of our company and we would like to use a new font for all of our reporting. This font is not one that is currently listed in OBIEE. I have the .otf files, I am hoping these read the same as .ttf files, but I don't know where to place them nor can I find where to define them so the Dashboard, Answers and the pdf write picks them up.
Thats for any help,
Jay

Hi,
I'm afraid this will be very hard to implement. In fact, it hasn't much to do with OBIEE, but with your browser. The problem is that GillSans is not a standard font in a browser. So even when you edit all your css files and set GillSans as the default font, it won't be used because GillSans isn't implemented as a font in your browser.

Firefox installed in Archlinux can display fonts after a new fonts installed

Hi! I'm a Linux user. Recently I migrate to Archlinux. At first time I used Firefox without issues. Then in the process the install and config software and the distro I installed new fonts. That fonts I used in IBM Linux distro, OpenClient based on RHEL 6.5. Thats fonts are a backup of that machine. The set of fonts include around of 4000 fonts: Windows 7 Fonts, Google Fonts, Droid and others. In RHEL I have not issues with this fonts. The fonts groups are:
<pre><nowiki>[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ ls -l
total 272

But in Archlinux after fonts installation Firefox can not show fonts, and I can not write in textbox. I do:
* Reset Firefox to defaults --> Do not works.
* Uninstall Firefox / Re install Firefox --> Do not works.
* Reinstall fontconfig package in Archlinux. --> Do not works.
* Update font cache --> Do not works.

If need it something more please let me know
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards

If [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/firefox#Firefox_variants Firefox ]does not anti-alias and/or hint your fonts, try to install [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-win7-fonts/ ttf-win7-fonts] (preferred) or [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts/ ttf-ms-fonts] and take a look at [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration Font configuration].

Af:richtextEditor font-family- adding new font

I am using af:richTextEditor in a web page. The font-family drop down inside af:richTextEditor components contains some font.

"Open Link in new window" not working with OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded from Siebel Analytics to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
In OBIEE Go to Settings > Administration > Managae Interactive Dashboard > Select any Dashboard > Right Click on Properties tab > Open Link in New window:
This throws an error saying "javascript:void(null)".
In Siebel Analytisc the above functionality used to work.
Does anyone knows thereason behind this?
Regards,
Apoorv

Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

New Fonts for OBIEE Answers

HI,
We are using OBIEE 10, on Linux platform. We have an urgent requirement to utilise a new Font in the OBIEE portal. In particular, when we select a column in the Answers, we should be able to get this font in the Column Properties->Style -> Font ->Family.
Also this should be set as the default font in the dashboard. Currently the OBIEE restricts the Font selections to default 10. I need to either add a new one , or replace existing one. Can someone suggest the files to be modified?
Regards
Jay

Memory Leak with new Font()

Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I have a program that needs to change the font of at least 250,000 letters, however after doing this the program runs slow and laggy as if changing the fonts of each letter took up memory and never released it? Here is a compilable example, Click the button at the bottom of the window and watch the letter it is currently working on. You will notice that around 200,000 it will begin to not smoothly count up anymore but count in kind of a skipping pattern. This seems to get worse the more you do it and seems to indicate to me that something is using memory and not releasing it. I'm not sure why replacing a letter's font with a new font would cause more memory to be taken up I would think if I was doing it properly it would simply replace the old font with the new one not taking anymore memory then it did before. Here is the example: This program sometimes locks up so be prepared. If someone could maybe point out what is causing this to take up more memory after changing the fonts that would be great and hopefully find a solution :) Thanks in advance.

You're creating a quarter million distinct Font objects, and obviously you must be hanging on to all of them because each character is having its font set to the newly created object. So if you have 250k chars, you're forcing it to have 250k Font objects.
Since the only difference is that rand.nextInt(50) parameter, just pre-create 50 Font objects with 0..49, stick 'em in the corresponding elements in an array, and use rand.nextInt to select the Font object to use.That does make sense but it does that when the the program is first launched and doesn't lag. But the second and third time you change the letters font it seems to lag so if it wasn't taking up more memory the second time it should perform like it did when it first launched. I don't care to investigate any further. The real problem is almost certainly the quarter million Font objects. It could be that 250k is fine, but by the time you get to 500k, it has to do a lot of GC, and that's where the slow down is coming. You might even be able to make it work better with the code you have just by tweaking the GC parameters at startup, but I wouldn't bother. Fix the code first, and then see if you have issues.
Does creating a new font for each of those letters not replace the old font object? If it didn't use more memory the second and third time I don't think you would see the skipping in the counter and the slowing down of the iterations. So it must be remembering some of the old font objects or am I wrong?Using new always creates a new object. When you do it the second time around, and call letter.setFont(newFont), the old Font object is eligible for GC. That doesn't mean it will be GCed right away though. The JVM can leave them all laying around until it runs out of memory, and then GC some or all of them.

New Font wont show in Adobe reader.

My company is re-branding itself and part of that re-branding is having the new name in a new custom Font. But when we print our external reports to send to customers the new Font does not show. I tried adding the Font to the adobe reader Font folder but still nothing? I wish Adobe Reader would just get it's Fonts from C:Windows\Fonts\. What do I need to do?

Sounds like you need to talk to the folks that build the application that you use to create the PDF's.
No one here will be able to tell you how to embed fonts in that application unless you get lucky and run in to someone else that uses it. Their support would be your best bet.

Just purchased a font from Adobe, the font shows in every program except Photoshop CS4

I just purchased the Frutiger family of fonts from Adobe, and installed them via the Control Panel>Fonts>Install New Font. This new font family shows up in every Windows program including Outlook and all the Office programs. However, it doesn't shop up in Photoshop CS4 which is where I need it. I saw similar questions with solutions that worked such as: Copy the fonts from Windows>Fonts to the Adobe>Fonts. However, I don't have a Fonts folder under my Adobe folder.
Very frustrating since I purchased this font package from Adobe.
Any help would be appreciated.

OpenType versions or the old Type 1 format?
Also, you will never access any new fonts unless you exit all the Adobe applications first.
Also, you may need to clean up one or more of the Adobe font cache files. With all Adobe applications exited, delete all files of form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number. Those files will be regenerated when you run the Adobe applications. All fonts should be found during such a "rebuild."
Another thing to look for is whether for some reason or another, the fonts are placed outside of normal alphabetic order in the Adobe applications. This sometimes happens if the font has a non-standard character set or name.

Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?

You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

FCE V4 comes with a "lite" version of LiveType which is dramatically different to the previous version in the amount of media included.
My suggestion would be to uninstall FCE4, (re)install the previous version, and totally complete your old projects.
Some posters have apparently been able to install the old media along with the new media. A search of this forum might reveal the best way to do this.
Regards. Robert.

New font not coming through?

Hi
We use reports 10g and app server/db 10g.
I need to use a new font for our company logo. I have installed this on the server and local PC. I have installed these and then amended a text string on one report to use the new font. It appears correct in reports builder and also correct when i use the run paper layout through reports builder on my local PC the report shows with the new font.
When i run the report from our reports server it changes the font to something else (looks like a standard forn like ariel or something).
Im assuming the reports server does not know this new font but yet i installed it on the server that has the app server installed on. I also gave the app server a reboot just to test this but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.

It is pretty weird that it does not work since both the IDS and the AS are in a Windows environment.
IF it is PDF, you can try something, you could configure PDF Font subsetting - this will embed the font in the generated file which would make it completely portable, you would not need to install the fonts in the client PCs.
Try saving and opening the PDF file that is generated with Acrobat Reader, then go into File -> Properties -> Fonts
What do you see ?
Try also generating an XML file from your .rdf, then search for "font face"
Did you find your new Font there ? What's the name ?
face="Arial"
This name "Arial" is the name of the Font as the reports is going to need in the server.
For configuring PDF font subsetting, you can simply copy the .ttf files from the Windows Fonts folder into one folder in the REPORTS_PATH, then you go into the uifont.ali file to configure it.
i.e.
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialb.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"

How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview Annotation Note ?

How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview > Annotation > Note ?
Thanks for any help guys. Noteworthy is horrible, in my view. But this does not matter. I simply do not want to use it, and woudl be fine with having helvetica back as the annotation typeface.
Neither is Preview responding to changes I attempt in the type menu, nor did I find an entry when using “defaults read com.apple.Preview” in the Terminal.
Any idea? Cheers.

Sorry if this doesn't apply in Mountain Lion (no way to look at ML right now), but I see this in Preview under Mavericks:
I click the annotation button (circled in red) and draw a box. I can then change the text to any active font using the drop down menu (circled in green).
