Number translation for AP checks?

Question

Number translation for AP checks?
I need to write checks out of Oracle AP (release 11i) that are in the RMB currency and that are printed in Simplified Chinese, including the amount. In other words, if the amount for the check is 55,0000 RMB then I want to print the Formal Simplified characters for 55,0000 RMB, not the Arabic numerals ("55,000") for it.
It looks to me like this is not part of the standard Oracle check formatting process.
Are there any tools available (a PL/SQL function would be best) to output the Chinese representation for a numeric value?
Any help I can get on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Mark,
This way of including the name of the font inside the RTF template may not work with XMLP 5.0. This is something that is introduced to work with XMLP 5.5 onwards. The best way i can suggest here is to place the font file say "xyz.ttf" in your DB-tier(/fonts/xyz.ttf) and put its location in the "xdo.cfg" file. A change in the configuration file might help you in achieving desired results.
A typical change would be required in the "fonts" section of the config file as shown below:
<!-- Font setting -->
<fonts>
<!-- Font setting (for FO to PDF etc...) -->
<font family="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="/fonts/Arial.ttf" />
</font>
<font family="Default" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="/fonts/ALBANWTJ.ttf" />
</font>
<!--Font substitute setting (for PDFForm filling etc...) -->
<font-substitute name="MSGothic">
<truetype path="/fonts/msgothic.ttc" ttcno="0" />
</font-substitute>
</fonts>
</config>
Please refer page no. 208-217 of XMLP 5.0 User guide for more information.
