Unable to subset font in report

Hi!
When I launch the UNIX rwclient command against my Reports Server I get a pdf output file, but the Acrobat Reader always
gives me an error saying that there was a problem reading the document (110).
The command I used was:
rwclient report=my_report.rdf userid=me/mypwd@mydb server=repserverofmine desformat=pdf destype=file pdfembed=no
The [ PDF:Subset  ] section in the uifont.ali file in $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin reads
helvetica...Bold.. = "courbd.ttf"
helvetica..... = "cour.ttf"
Everything under [ PDF:Embed ] and [ PDF ] ist out-commented and the above mentioned TTF files have been copied from
the WINNT\Fonts - directory into the UNIX-directory $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo, which is part of my client's REPORTS_PATH.
I haven't changed the mapping section [ Global ], so an aliasing of the arial font to helvetica is done here.
BTY: Another uifont.ali file can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/mesg , but I assume it's the one I mentioned
before which is the relevant, right?
The original my_report.rdf has arial font in it and was created on a Windows machine.
My intention is to subset the arial font, so the arial font gets included with the generated pdf output file.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Leo
You must still have an entry in the [Global] section to alias Arial to helvetica:
[Global]
Arial=helvetica
This ensures that all the instances of Arial font is globally aliased to helvetica font. So that your entry in [PDF:Subset] section takes effect which in turn will subset Arial font for all the instances of helvetica font.
Try to open the PDF file in a text editor to see if the font is indeed subset. Look for an entry called /CharProcs. If it exists and you cannot open PDF file in Acrobat, you can more or less assume that this is a bug on Reports. Contact Oracle Support to get the issue resolved.

  • 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.

  • Unable to load the XML Report

    Hi,
    I am using TestStand 3.1. Someone before me has developped a lot of things in our application : specific steps, specific process model, ... . Now this person is not here anymore and I have a test report display problem.
    After an execution, the execution window cannot display the test report and displays the following message :
    "Unable to load the XML Report.
    At line 285 End tag 'NOBR' does not match the start tag 'BR'."
    Also with Internet Explorer, the test report cannot be displayed (and he locates the error at lign 287) .
    Needless to say that I am a poor guy in XML code that's why I am asking you some help.
    But, I opened the .xml with a text editor and that is the part of the code which causes the problem :
    284 </Prop>
    285 <BLOCKQUOTE>
    286 <H5><NOBR>Begin Sequence: MainSequence
    287 <BR>(X:\DATA_Utilisateur\Florian DENEVE\04_GENERIC\GenericTestMainSeq\GenericTestMainSeq.seq)<BR></BR></H5>
    288 <table BORDERCOLOR=#000000 FRAME=BOX RULES=ALL WIDTH=70%><TBODY>
    (please, be careful with the lines numbers, because i don't think that IE and TestStand have the same numbering)
    I don't know if it's a problem of basic TestStand or if it's due to the new process model and modifications realized by my previous colleague.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How To use Arial (Cyrillic) font  in Reports 10g for PDF output

    Hi,
    My reports are in Arial (Cyrillic) font, but there are only hieroglyphes in pdf output. Is there a problem with fonts on Report Server or something else?
    My Report Server is 10g R2 (10.1.2.2) and OS is RHEL 4.
    I followed metalink notes 750805.1 and 356221.1 but it didn't help me.

    You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

  • "Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

    Hi all
    I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
    On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
    On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
    - uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
    - installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
    - looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
    - changed my system language to English (USA)
    Other CS4 softwares work.
    What can i do?

    See this page for some additional information about this error.
    > I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
    You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.

  • PDF/A Conversion Err :CIDset in subset font is incomplete & Character references .notdef glyphs

    I was trying to convert some PDF documents to PDF/A-3b. Using Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows Vista PC, the conversion proceeded fine, but I noticed the size of the converted file increased from 1.91 Mb to  16.8 Mb (See spage usage audits below). I expected some increase in size due to the font embedding and such, but did not expect such a big jump. On Auditing the space usage, I noticed that the converted file had no embedded fonts, but the vast majority of space was being consumed by images. Turns out the "Convert to PDF/A-3b" profile in Preflight settings were set to convert all pages to images, if the regular conversion failed. I edited the profile to not do so, but fail on an error. This time when I passed the document through a "Convert to PDF/A-3b" pre-flight, it failed with the following errors.
    CIDset in subset font is incomplete (font contains glyphs that are not listed). It appears to be referring to the Arial and TimesNewRoman fonts.
    Character references .notdef glyph
    How do I fix these errors? For the CIDset error, I noticed some folks in the InDesign forums mentioning you can locate the missing glyphs and then replace the fonts with other fonts in which these glyphs are present. I am wondering if this is the issue here and something similar can be done in Acrobat. As for the .notdef glyphs, I couldn't find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ron
    Note:
    If I edit the conversion preflight profile to allow replacing the pages with images on regular conversion errors, the conversion goes through fine, but as shown below, there is a huge jump in size, which I would like to avoid. I have about 2GB worth of documents, and the conversion ends up using over 8 GB of space.

    Archival Ready PDF (PDF/A-3b)

    What software are you using to do OCR?
    Is there a way you can adjust what font is being used by the OCR software or use a different software for OCR? This is not  a standard OpenType font or one the can be mapped to Unicode.
    I'm not sure exactly how OCR software places fonts in  PDFs. Does it show up in the PDF Properties under Fonts?   If so, what is the name of the Font.
    When you examine the Tagged text in the Tags Panel, if you open up a tag and look at the content does it make sense or is it nonsense (gobbledygook)?
    While OCR text is not visible to the end user directly, it can be selected using the text tool and it is recognized by Acrobat for tagging purposes.  The Assistive Technology, e.g., screen reader. will be reading from this text. So if it is not understandable you do not have an accessible file.
    You would probably obtain better results using the Acrobat OCR feature, preferably on a Windows machine.  It's been a while since I've exchanged files between Mac and Windows, and I wouldn't trust that the encodings would be the same without testing it.

  • 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.
