Oracle Reports 10g, PDF fonts

Hi All,
I have an issue with PDF turkish characters.
When I run the same report with destype HTMLCSS all the
characters are ok.
I want to mention that the report data is taken from
a remote 9i DB using a database link. The chracter set of the remote DB is WE8ISO8859P9.
The NLS_LANG of the application server (10g (9.0.4.1)Windows XP, SP2 installation) is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 (the report is built to support multilanguage).
I will apreciate if anybody can give me some hints on how to solve this issue.

Hi,
PDF turkish support is easily managed by 9i/10g font embet/subset features.
Make sure you follow the following steps:
1. place your .ttf file(s) in a path also pointed by REPORTS_PATH ( set in registry for Windows and in $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh in UNIX/Linux).
You can get your ttf files from a Windows client machine %windir%\fonts directory:
arialbi.ttf
ariali.ttf
arial.ttf
arialbd.ttf
timesbd.ttf
timesbi.ttf
timesi.ttf
times.ttf
cour.ttf
courbd.ttf
courbi.ttf
couri.ttf
2. in uifont.ali (%oracle_home%\tools\Common90 in Windows and $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin in UNIX/Linux) place the following lines under "[ PDF:Subset ]" section :
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
"Times New Roman"..Italic.Bold.. = "timesbi.ttf"
"Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "timesbd.ttf"
"Times New Roman"..Italic... = "timesi.ttf"
"Times New Roman"..... = "times.ttf"
"Courier New"..Italic.Bold.. = "courbi.ttf"
"Courier New"...Bold.. = "courbd.ttf"
"Courier New"..Italic... = "couri.ttf"
"Courier New"..... = "cour.ttf"
3. simply restart the Reports Server.
4. Now reports should be displayed with fonts subset.
This should to the trick. If you get multi-byte characters within your reports file, have the reports server opened with WE8ISO8859P9 characterset ( a seperate BAT file to start the service after setting NLS_LANG in Windows env; setting NLS_LANG in reports.sh in UNIX/Linux).

Oracle Reports Font Standardization

We need to make our Oracle database and applications Unicode compliant. To do this we have decided to use the UTF8 character set. The NLS_LANG Oracle registry string can be set to use UTF8.
We have decided to use the Andale font. This means the data items in all our forms and reports need to be set to use the Andale font.
With Oracle Forms, a property class can be used but with Oracle Reports I'm not sure how this can be implemented so the font for all our pre-existing reports can be changed in one place. Oracle reports does not have property classes like Forms does. You can create a Reports template that can be selected from the Reports Wizard before the layout is generated but as far as I can tell that would require regenerating the layout for every report every time a font change is required. I don't want to do that I just want to have it changed from a reference like Forms has with the property class that can be inherited.
Do you know how Oracle Reports works in this regard? Is there a clean way to set up Oracle Reports so the font for all data items can be changed in one place or will I have to manually change it for every desired item in every report? There is also the possibility of creating a custom Oracle registry string for font and using that but I don't know if that is a good idea.

Hello,
If Cyrillic or any other locale served by a single-byte font is the only requirement, then it is easier to achieve success. You can use UTF8 in your database, and use the appropriate single-byte character set in your Reports environment (e.g., Windows 1251 for Cyrillic). There are still issues that may need to be resolved - for example, Reports doesn't generate the corresponding IANA characterset marking at the beginning of the HTML file, nor put the specific codepage marking at the beginning of the RTF file to force the respective applications to use the correct codepage if it isn't the user's default. But most of the issues are pretty straightforward to remedy in one fashion or another.
In general, to get past a wealth of issues today (e.g., availability of fonts, performance, issues with graphs, printer drivers), it's generally easier to set up multiple web/application server environments, each one dedicated to serve a particular locale or range of locales (e.g., Western European). This can be front-ended by a generic servlet that senses the user's browser settings, and redirects to the appropriate environment.
Note for Reports 9i, we've rev'ed up to PDF 1.3 format, and provide support for font embedding and subsetting, and also multibyte support via the 4 Asian font packs that Adobe offers as options for the Acrobat Reader.
There are other locale-specific and multi-locale improvements to Reports 9i, too. But a pure UNICODE web/application server environment will remain a challenge to implement for a few awhile, yet.

Oracle Reports 10g Fonts issue

Hi ,
I am developing report on windows environment and deploying on Unix environment.
I am using Oracle Report 10g R2 version.
The report is created in batch through unix script. I am using barcode fonts and some other fonts in my report.
When I generate PDF output for the report, I am getting proper barcode font however other fonts used in the report are not showing up properly in the PDF output.
1. I am using application specific PPD file which contains the list of all the fonts used in the report
2. All the AFM files for the fonts are availabe in the AFM folder
3. In the uifont.ali file, I have done following things:
a. Created Entry for PDF section as below:
[ PDF ]
barcode_font = "barcode_font"
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Hamburd DB" = "HamburgDemibold"
4. I have executed the report wiith debug option on. I have checked the debug file and it is reading all the fonts file from required AFM location.
5. I have creaeted XML of the report and check the fonts used and check the same with Font Alias file and also in AFM Folder.
6. I have checked the PDF file (document properties) for fonts. It shows that Truetype font is used for Barcode. For others, it shows that Actual font was Adode Sans MS of Type 1 font and it was replaced with HamburgDemiBold however the output file is not proper.
One more point: If I create a PS file and then conver the file to PDF, then the output PDF file is perfectly fine. However, if I create PDF directly, I am not getting the fonts properly.
Please let me know what I have missed or done wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramchandra Jetwani

Hi Hamid,
I tried the steps mentioned in the link however I am still facing the same issue.
I am using rwrun60 as report runtime and executable. In the environment, REPORTS_PATH is not set.
I had tried setting the REPORTS_PATH in the unix script and also adding the fonts path with REPORTS_PATH. However, it still does not work. I had tried PDF subset and PDF Embed both however none of them seems to work.
Also, in the PDF (using menu documents --> fonts) , i see that actual font seen as Adode Sans MM and not the font i need in the output.
I have question that if the reports path is not set then how oracle report will pick up the fonts details and which location will it look for fonts?
Also, if reports path is not set then how do i direct oracle report to use font path that i want to be used.
Uifont.ali file (PDF section)

Oracle Reports Web Cartridge/Web CGI

It is my understanding that neither of the above is used by Oracle Forms with the run_product statement for WEB applications. Can anyone tell me if either of the above is used by Oracle Forms with the statement run_report_object?
I'm asking because I want to know that if I use the run_report_object built-in (WEB environment)which replaces run_product
(Client/Server environment), will it be able to display the parameter form as run_product currently does in the Client/Server environment. I am talking about Oracle forms calling Oracle reports.

Did you ever get an answer to your problem. I having trouble with bringing forms over from client server to web, I can't get a parameter form to run. I've been told to use paramform=html in the URL but where is it? Where do I place this statement?

PDF Format Oracle Reports font issue

My process is generating the batch oracle Reports.
Their key map is:
Key1: %* server=server1 userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\sample.rdf destype=file desformat=PDF
My process is calling IAS server to generate report. IAS ser is generating and saving the report in the specified location.Reports are running on the server locally and DESTYPE=FILE. So the Oracle Reports output is saved on the server itself. Whenever i open the report on my machine/server i have font issue. Some of the reports has very tiny font. It seems the reports generated by using oracle reports which is Arial Unicode font type is causing the problem. If any reports other then Arial Unicode font like Arial Westrn, those reports are fine. We have 1000s of reports. So we don't want to change each report font type. For me it seems the issue is with the font on the server. Is there anyway to ask App server use Arial Westrn if Arial Unicode not found. How to make these configuration changes in the server. Any suggestions please.

Maybe this helps or at least points you in some direction ...
Have a look at font aliasing when configuring Application Server : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_font.htm#i1006140
If your Application Server is located on Windows I would suggest to install the fonts there.
In Unix, this a more complex task.

PDF Format Oracle Reports font size is not consistent.

My process is generating the batch oracle Reports.
Their key map is:
Key1: %* server=server1 userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\sample.rdf destype=file desformat=PDF
My process is calling IAS server to generate report. IAS server is generating and saving the report in the specified location. The problem is sometimes the report font size is very tiny (especially headers & footers), it is happening for few reports. What could be the reason is there anyway to make sure that always the generated reports font size is good.

it is happening for few reportsSo is the problem that the same reports-module sometimes has the right font and sometimes not, or is there one report which has always the wrong font?

Changing font in Oracle Report in PDF output

Hi,
I have created reports using dev10g(report builder). I can run report from client side in pdf format but I want to change the font (i.e from courier to Arial narrow).
How can I do this?
Is there anyone who can help me?

# DESCRIPTION:
# Each line is of the form:
# <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet> = \
# <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet>
# The <Face> must be the name (string/identifier) of a font face. The
# <Style>, <Weight>, <Width>, and <CharSet> may either be a numeric
# value or a predefined identifier/string. For example, both US7ASCII
# and 1 are valid <CharSet> values, and refer to the same character set.
# The <Size> dimension must be an explicit size, in points.
# The following is a list of recognized names and their numeric
# equivalents:
# Styles Numeric value
# Plain 0
# Italic 1
# Oblique 2
# Underline 4
# Outline 8
# Shadow 16
# Inverted 32
# Overstrike 64
# Blink 128
# Weights Numeric value
# Ultralight 1
# Extralight 2
# Light 3
# Demilight 4
# Medium 5
# Demibold 6
# Bold 7
# Extrabold 8
# Ultrabold 9
# Widths Numeric value
# Ultradense 1
# Extradense 2
# Dense 3
# Semidense 4
# Normal 5
# Semiexpand 6
# Expand 7
# Extraexpand 8
# Ultraexpand 9
# Styles may be combined; you can use plus ("+") to delimit parts of a
# style. For example,
# Arial..Italic+Overstrike = Helvetica.12.Italic.Bold
# are equivalent, and either one will map any Arial that has both Italic
# and Overstrike styles to a 12-point, bold, italic Helvetica font.
# All strings are case-insensitive in mapping. Font faces are likely to
# be case-sensitive on lookup, depending on the platform and surface, so
# care should be taken with names used on the right-hand side; but they
# will be mapped case-insensitively.
# See your platform documentation for a list of all supported character
# sets, and available fonts.

# Generic entries for a font must follow more specific entries for the same
# font. For instance, if you want to subset helvetica Plain, helvetica Bold,
# helvetica Italic and helvetica Bold-Italic fonts, your entries must be:
# [ PDF:Subset ]
# helvetica..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
# helvetica...Bold.. = "Arialb.ttf"
# helvetica..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
# helvetica..... = "Arial.ttf"
# If helvetica..... entry appears in the top of the list, all the styles of
# helvetica font in the layout will be subset as helvetica Plain font.

Embedding Fonts in Oracle Reports with PDF output

I've read in the data sheet for Oracle reports that you can embed font in the PDF output, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how this is done. Current we have PDF reports being generated using reports server on Compaq (Alpha based) server running TRUE64 UNIX. The reports server uses the fonts install on the Compaq to figure out the layout (we use auto-sized fields). When the PDF is displayed on a Windows client the fonts are substituted and the labels and fields overlap. I want to embed the UNIX fonts into the PDF so that the output is reproduced as it was generated.

You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

How to Change Fonts in Oracle Reports

Hi All,
When ever i am changing fonts in my report it reflects me when i run them on reports builder installed on my local machine.
But when i put them on application server, these changes are not reflected. I am generating PDF reports.
Can some body help me what should i need to do to reflect the font changes.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kamal

Hi Kamal,
Whether the font used in the report is installed in the machine where Apps server is installed? If not , use the feature ' PDF Aliasing' to substitue for that particular font.
For more information on this, have a look at the chapter "Managing Fonts in Oracle Reports" in Publishing Reports Manual. You can download it from http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B14048_01.pdf.
Thanks,
Vidya Viswanathan

Custom Fonts In Oracle Report

I have created a Custom Report (Output:PDF) using Oracle 9i, It has Custom Font, When I ran the report the custom fonts are displayed as special characters, Can someone please let me know how can i configure fonts to get picked up by report.

Make sure you have a TTF file under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF and an AFM for that missing under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM directory.
Modify the uifont.ali under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add PDF Subsetting to reference the font. You'll want to open the AFM file to see what the "Font Family Name" parameter is. That is what you put on the left side of the "=" sign. The TTF file is what you reference in the right side of the equals sign. So, basically it is "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name".
Save the file, restart Reports Server, and run your report. Then it should work.
IF you don't know how to generate an AFM file, I'd look at the ttf2pt1 utility. I used that utility to generate my AFM file (based on the TTF font).
Now, this will not solve problems when sending it to the printer directly. BUt it will resolve it when generating a PDF and then printing to the printer that file output.

Oracle Report Font problem when run report from oracle EBS R12

Dear All
I have developed one Report in ORACLE REPORT BUILDER in windows environment. I see the output of that report, its ok, I deployed it on the EBS R12 which is on Linux environment, when i see the output, its fonts totally change and due to change in fonts, output not same as like in previous stage. When i print from dot matrix Printer then sometime its shrink the character and sometime break the output..

Urgent : Oracle Reports Server 9.0.4.0.0 Japanese fonts

Hi,
I have one problem in displaying Japanese fonts in Reports Server.
I have installed Oracle Reports Server (9.0.4.0.0) by selecting radio button -
' Use Unicode (UTF8) as the Character Set'
while installing Infrastructure. But I didn't choose any Prodcut Language at the time of Middle Tier Installation.
I changed the value of NLS_LANG to JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16JIS in registry for both Infra as well as Middle tier homes. Both are on same machine.But no able to display the report in Japanese Fonts. It gives me following error -
REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
Could anybody help me resolve this issue ? Its urgent.
Thanks in anticipation

I would advice you to install a new mid tier with Japanese language.
Regards
Pavna

HTML font size in Oracle Reports 11g

I am migrating from Oracle Reports 10g in OAS to Reports 11g in WebLogic.
However when I display all changed reports using Web Browser (same), the font size is changed(comparing the 10g reports to 11g reports). I would like to keep unchanged.
(command using DESTYPE=HTML)
May anybody can give me some guidance? (would like to see if there are any file or setting in EM which can alter the size of font in web)
Thanks.
