Report Builder Fonts

Hi Guys
I've just built a new report in CF Report Builder and changed
the font of my text. However, when the report is out put to a PDF,
the font has not changed.
Any suggestions please.
Many thanks in advance, All the best
Wes

You can try modifying the style and checking "Embed Font" to
make sure the font is part of the PDF file.

Oracle Report Builder Font diffrenece in different O/S

Dear All,
The report that I have developed in windows environment using Oracle Report Builder while running in Solaris environment displaying wrong character. Basically I am trying to display Portuguese character in my report, its working fine while running in windows environment where as when I run the same in Solaris environment its displaying wrong character.
Sample:
In Windows Environment the word that I am trying to display is - RESUMO DE TARIFAGCO POR BANCO
where as its displaying wrong in Solaris environment - RESUMO DE TARIFA?O POR BANCO
Thanks in advance to provide solution.

Hi
Reports builder picks up the font information from the display server and printer. In case you need the same font to appear in layout editor and paper design i.e live-previewer, make sure respective fonts are installed in your display server for the character sets you are using. If you are running the report to file with pdf/html format etc or to the printer, make sure the required printer fonts are installed. PLease also refer Font document on otn under Reports doc section.
Thanks

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

Same font in Reports Builder environment

i am facing a query which i am not able to understand. I made 2 reports, one with font '8' and another with '10' in Reports Builder Developer Suite 9i in Windows 2000 professional edition. After this, i copied both the reports into Unix operating System HP-11i and it works properly showing the report with the smaller font in smaller font itself. But when i import the reports(.rdf) back from Unix into windows 2000 environment, it is showing both the reports in same font '10' in design mode. I am not able to understand that when i import the reports back from UNIX into windows, why are the reports showing in the same font in design mode. Please help me in this as it is very urgent.

Hi,
this could be because of your UNIX environment does not have the required fonts, the report builder substituted the available fonts. Moreover, there is no uniformity in case of fonts across OS.
I have faced this problem my self several times.

How to dislay other language font in Report Builder paper layout?

How to I display other language font (e.g. chinese) in Report Builder paper layout?
I have no problem displaying Chinese characters in web layout.

If your NLS_LANG is properly set to chinese character set and if you are choosing the right chinese fonts, in Reports builder, your report paper layout should display chinese characters properly.
If you are generating to PDF, then you might want to use PDF subsetting to display the chinese characters properly.
See the documentation on how to use PDF subsetting.

Add a font to report builder?

Is it possible to add a new font to report builder 3.0? I'm new to this and trying to create a report that uses the font Whitney Book (or one similar to it) but I can't figure out how to add it to the report builder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi Unique DisplayNames,
According to your description, you want to add a font for Reporting Services in Report Builder. Right?
In Reporting Services, open type font is not supported which means we can't add font into Report Builder directly. Since we use standard Windows APIs for fonts, you may need to install the font into Windows (Go to Control Panel->Fonts or add the fonts
into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts). Here has some available info in the following blog:
https://blogs.claritycon.com/blog/2010/01/utilizing-custom-fonts-with-sql-reporting-services-ssrs-and-exporting-to-pdf/

To set generic fonts in report builder

hi,
i have an issue regardign the fonts.
Even if i change the reports to use generic font names like Arial
instead of Arial(Western), the Report builder after reopening the
report is changing it to Arial(Western)

You seem to be posting to the wrong forum. There is no "report builder" feature in the Oracle Workspaces application.
regards,
-Neil.

Why isn't Report Builder embedding the fonts???

I have a report built with all the label and fields all set to use Calibri and to embed the font. Yet when it shows the text in the rendered PDF file, it is not Calibri (or anything close)
All Report Builder help tells me is that when we embed the font, the file size will be bigger - no duh! But it's not even doing it.
Creating a report that has specific sizes and looks in mind can't be done unless the font embeds, so how do I fix this??
It's really starting to piss me off!

Different display on client report builder and web reports

Hi all, I have build a report in report 6i version Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1.And I set the page to 8.5*11 ,and it runs well in the client ,but when I put it on the UNIX SERVER,and run it from web URL,It displayed different from the client report builder.The web report is "smaller" than the client report ,but the font size is as same as the client .
My HPUX is 11x,and display the Chinese report .
Any body know why ?give me some advice ,thank u very much.

Hi
If you had built the report definition on Windows and then moved this to Unix server, you may find different fonts in use. This is becuase your Unix setup does not have the same fonts install. At design time, You need to use fonts which are available on Unix also. The same fonts shaould also be installed for printer in Unix i.e. the AFM/PFM font files should be kept under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommonX/tkXX/admin/AFM or PFM directory. This would give you the same output and would lessen the porting affect.
Thanks

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.
