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

user4658745Sep 11 2013

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 ?
