BI Publisher enables you to use fonts in your output that are not normally available on the server. To set up a new font for your report output, use the font to design your template on your client machine, then make it available on the server, and configure BI Publisher to access the font at runtime.
Use the font in your template.
Copy the font to your <WINDOWS_HOME>/fonts directory.
Open Microsoft Word and build your template.
Insert the font in your template: Select the text or form field and then select the desired font from the font dialog box (Format > Font) or font drop down list.
Place the font on the server.
Place the font in a directory accessible to the formatting engine at runtime.
Set the BI Publisher "font" property.
You can set the font property for the report in the BI Publisher Font Mappings page, or in the configuration file.
To set the property in the configuration file:
Update the BI Publisher configuration file "fonts" section with the font name and its location on the server. For example, the new entry for a TrueType font is structured as follows:
<font family="MyFontName" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="\user\fonts\MyFontName.ttf"/>
</font>
See BI Publisher Configuration File for more information.
To set the property in the template:
See Setting Runtime Properties.
Now you can run your report and BI Publisher will use the font in the output as designed. For PDF output, the advanced font handling features of BI Publisher embed the external font glyphs directly into the final document. The embedded font only contains the glyphs required for the document and not the complete font definition. Therefore the document is completely self-contained, eliminating the need to have external fonts installed on the printer.
