Creating PDFs with BI Publisher as Print Server that have custom fonts

Jim SchmitzOct 24 2023

Using Oracle Analytics Cloud BI Publisher as our print server. Created an RTF template that has some special fonts in it for Reports Layout. While testing in Reports Queries, the special fonts show for NON PDF outputs (because the font exists on the client device), but BI Publisher is not embedding the special font into the PDFs. It reverts to Helvetica.

In Bi Publisher admin screen, uploaded all the special fonts and did the font mapping. Even did a very simple test, created select 'Hello World hello from dual, changed the font to COMIC SANS MS, then uploaded that font and mapped it in BI Publisher. Still does not display the Comic font.

Is what I am trying to do a valid option for APEX 22+? I even tried this on apex.oracle.com connected to our BI Publisher endpoint and it did not work there either.

Here is an example of a BI Publisher integration setup which we followed:
