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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Hiding empty columns in report builder

Hi,
This is my first adventure with report builder and I have
managed to produce some custom labels which work almost perfectly.
I say almost because there is one thing I can't seem to do.
I have a label for addresses. The address data consists of
data from a query including, name,
address1,address2,address3,town,county,postcode.
Some of these are quite often empty but the label still
displays a line break and the ',' at the end so I might end up
with:
Dave Phipps
27 Acacia Road,
MyTown,
MT1 4JP
In the above address the fields address2, address3 and county
are empty.
How do I set this up in Report Builder to hide the missing
lines so that I would end up with:
Dave Phipps
27 Acacia Road,
MyTown,
MT1 4JP
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dave

How do you set NLS_LANG environment variable in report builder

How do you set up the reports builder environment to display foreign fonts.
So far what I read makes me think that in report builder I have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable .
If anyone has done this is that true and if so how.
Also the languages I want to use are the following.
Armenian
Cambodian
Chinese
Russian
Tagalog
Vietnamese
How do I find the NLS_LANG environment variables for these.
Where I am at now+
I have to set the DEVELOPER NLS LANG. I see the NLS LANG in the registry and I guess I have to add the DEVELOPER NLS LANG.
Now I am searching for syntax. If anyone knows the syntax for those languages please let me know and how do I set more than 1 at a time.

Hello Howard,
Check out the following link here you can find your desired NLS parameters.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
And about the NLS_LANG for developer why you want to create for developer. Its is already there in REGISTRY. Just seaching in developer registry you can find there.
how do I set more than 1 at a time.
You can set only one NLS_LANG parameter at a time.

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!

just by chance... are ps fonts? sounds like a Mavs problem

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

Report Builder Wizard and Parameter Creation with values from other data source e.g. data set or views for non-IT users or Business Analysts

Hi,
"Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the Microsoft Office environment.
You work with one report at a time. You can modify a published report directly from a report server. You can quickly build a report by adding items from the Report Part Gallery provided by report designers from your organization." - As mentioned
on TechNet.
I wonder how a non-technical business analyst can use Report Builder 3 to create ad-hoc reports/analysis with list of parameters based on other data sets.
Do they need to learn TSQL or how to add and link parameter in Report Builder? then How they can add parameter into a report. Not sure what i am missing from whole idea behind Report builder then?
I have SQL Server 2012 STD and Report Builder 3.0 and want to train non-technical users to create reports as per their need without asking to IT department.
Everything seems simple and working except parameters with list of values e.g. Sales year List, Sales Month List, Gender etc. etc.
So how they can configure parameters based on Other data sets?
Workaround in my mind is to create a report with most of columns and add most frequent parameters based on other data sets and then non-technical user modify that report according to their needs but that way its still restricting users to
a set of defined reports?
I want functionality like "Excel Power view parameters" into report builder which is driven from source data and which is only available Excel 2013 onward which most of people don't have yet.
So how to use Report Builder. Any other thoughts or workaround or guide me the purpose of Report Builder, please let me know.
Many thanks and Kind Regards,
For quick review of new features, try virtual labs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220464.aspx
As to the Report Builder features, we can refer to the following articles:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213578.aspx

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!
