Fonts in Forms 6i - URGENT!

Good day to you all
I am urgently seeking help. I am using Redhat Linux 9, I have Oracle Database 9i running and have just installed Forms and reports 6i.
My issue is that I don't know where to adjust the font family and size when I run a form application (f60runm).
Please help, this is extremely urgent
Many thanks.
William

William,
check this one - should be similar
uifont.ali? Tk2Motif? Which adjusts the fonts

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

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!

Ho,
the Forms builder picks up teh font that is defined for teh Windows system. if e.g. you go to the Windows control and select another display scheme (the windows classic with the extra large fonts) then this is also shown in the Forms builder. please refer to your Windows documentation on how to set the Windows font to a Unicode font

How to add new a font with Forms 6i running on Web URGENT !!!

In Forms 6i , I have added a new Font and installed it successfully .In client Server
mode the Form is Successfully Showing me
the newly added font. But when I run this Form on Web It does not shows me the font correctly. The font is a True Type Font for
Windows . I am running my forms using OAS 4.0.8.1 on Win NT. Do I need to make some configurations on the Server ????
Please Help ?????

Thanks.
1/ Actually most of the customers will use our app through normal 56k modems. Their first connection must avoid to download Jinitiator which is 8Mo, so we don't want people to use Jinitiator (opening the session is even longer with Jinitiator than IE5).
2/ Moreover, the applet window has a grey title line with the word "window" and the name form : this is not internet at all ;-)
3/ A normal connection through a firewall doesn't work with the famous port 9000.
help please.
Thank you

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)

Can't change font of forms checkbox

I upgraded from Acrobat 9 Pro to 11 Pro (Mac version) a week or two ago and now my forms are messed up. Specifically, the marks in the checkboxes do not print out.
I tried to go into Properties and adjust the font, thinking that might be the issue but the dropdown is grayed out. The font it shows is Adobe Pi, which as far as I can tell is not installed on my machine. So now I'm thinking that really is why the marks don't print.
Why can't I change the font of these checkboxes? Where can I get the Adobe Pi font? How can I print my checkboxes?

The font for checkboxes can't be changed. Some of the options (e.g. cross) don't even use a character from the Pi font, which is built-in. It is actually the replacement font for the Zapf Dingbats font which is guaranteed to be available with all compliant PDF viewers, so there's no need for you to have it installed separately.

View BLOB content through Forms 6i URGENT... URGENT...

I have a table which stores word documents as BLOB. My database is on UNIX machine and I access the database through a Citrix machine through Oracle Forms. My client wishes to open the word document in Forms which is stored in BLOB in the database. My database version is 9.2 which supports me to import and export files from file system to BLOB and vice versa using DBMS_BLOB and UTL_FILE packages. But, my only concern is regarding opening the word document through Forms 6i. Is that possible through OLE or any other means? I've tried all the sources. I know I can do it using Webutil, but it will not work for Forms 6i. Please help me in this regard. I have an urgent release tonight. Please. Please. Please. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I know that OLE can solve the problem. But issues is my word document is stored as BLOB in the database. My database is in UNIX. So, I can't export my files into UNIX and open them. I can't view them either from Forms. Please let me know if you have any alternative. Please can you guide me with step by step procedure as to how this can be done if we can do it using OLE.
