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

    # 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

    # 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.

    # Typically, a TTC font contains several fonts in one file. For example,
    # the TTC file, msgothic.ttc consists of three fonts in the order -
    # MS Gothic, MS PGothic and MS UI Gothic. To subset MS PGothic, the
    # entry in the PDF:Subset section of uifont.ali would be:
    # "MS PGothic" = "msgothic.ttc,1"
    # NOTES ON PRECEDENCE OF PDF SECTIONS:
    # If you have entries for a same font in many PDF sections, then Font
    # Aliasing entry will take precedence over Font Subsetting entry. Entries
    # in Font Subsetting will take precedence over the entries in Font Embedding
    # section.
    # 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.

  • In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports  output how to change font size and font type.
    Regards,
    Zaker.

    These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
    With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
    With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
    Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

    Hi,
    I'm using Oracle9i App Server R2.

  • How can i invoke an Oracle Report w/in a Java application?

    I have a custom java application that I would like to integrate with a report tool. I am reviewing Oracle Reports but I was not sure how I would integrate an Oracle Report.
    I have read that I can use Active-X but. Has anyone ever done this? Also - is there any support for a java bean?
    I am also wondering how I could pass in report parameters.
    It is my understanding that Oracle will generate either pdf or html output which could be viewed through the browser or adobe acrobat reader.
    Is this correct?
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Bonnie,
    I create a URL that calls Oracle Reports Server running under IAS, using PDF or html as the output. The Java code calls up the commandline and starts the default browser with the specified URL, which then talks to Oracle Reports Server... and voila... the report shows up in your browser!
    have fun...
    void execURL ( String pURL )
    System.out.println(pURL);
    if (System.getProperty("os.name").equals("Windows NT") )
    try
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start "+pURL);
    catch (Exception e1) {System.out.println(e1.getMessage()); }
    else
    try
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start "+pURL);
    catch (Exception e2) {System.out.println(e2.getMessage());}

  • How to change fonts in iCal?

    How to change fonts in iCal?  I can't harly read my calendar-tiny print size.  How could I change the font size?

    Your question really got me thinking.   Actually, I don't think you should feel like an idiot at all.  I think it is Apples failure that they made this difficult.  Seriously, who would ever think to press Command and arrow to switch months?  The little arrows next to the word Today are so small and inconspicuous that I remember having this very same question when I started using iCal too. 
    So, here is what I did to make it easier for my wife that uses iCal too. 
    Open System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts Tab, and finally Application Shortcuts.
    Click on the Plus symbol under the right hand pane.
    Select iCal from the Application list
    Add two shortcuts:  One named Next and the other named Previous and press your desired Keyboard Shortcut.
    I assigned the left arrow and right arrow for these tasks.
    Now it makes more sence for someone that is not used to Apples idotic way of doing things. ;-)
    I use keyboard shortcuts all over the place.  Actually, sometimes it gets me into trouble when I use someone elses computer and my shortcuts don't work.  I blame their computer for it and forget it was my "tuning".

    I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
    Forgot to add these.

  • How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

    hi All
    That's great when using SQL Dev.
    But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
    My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
    Appreciate for anyone to help us.
    Thanks all.
    Sigmasvn

    You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
    Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

  • How to change font size in textarea?

    how to change font size in textarea?

    to embed a font using actionscript requires adding the font to your library.  to do that, click the upper right of your library panel, click "new font..", select the font you want and click ok.  find the added font in your library, right click, click properties and tick "export for actionscript" (click the actionscript tab if you don't see that option, at first).  assign a class name (eg, WhateverFont).  you can then use:
    var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    tfor.size=22;
    var yourfont:Font=new WhateverFont();
    tfor.font = yourfont.fontName;
    ta.setStyle("embedFonts",true);
