Problem in displaying barcode in oracle reports

User177447Aug 20 2015 — edited Aug 23 2015

Hi,


Need your help guys. Facing problem on displaying barcode-font in 10g Oracel Reports. It is working fine and displaying the barcode while running through report builder but when running via browser it shows the actual content (e.g. numbers)  instead of barcode.


I followed this MDOC (Barcode Font Not Included in Reports PDF Output on Windows (Doc ID 602070.1)) even gone through this discussion note ()

Treatment " :

Step 1 : Font Aliasing

Step 2 : Font Subsetting

For more details : https://metalink.oracle.com/

Note.350971.1 Troubleshooting Guide for Font Aliasing / Font Subsetting / Font Embedding Issues:

Following is the contents of uifont.ali file from the report server.


[ PDF ]

# This example shows how to rename Arial font to Courier font

# Arial = Courier

# You can Alias specific styles of font as below

# Arial.12..Bold.. = Courier.14....

# "Times New Roman".12..Bold = "Sans Serif"

#

# Support for Far Eastern Languages:

# ----------------------------------

# PDF section can be additionally used to enable Multibyte language support

# built into Reports.  To use this feature with Adobe (r) Acrobat (c), you

# need to install the Asian font pack available online at the Adobe web site.

# By specifying the below aliasing, a Japanese report run with Shift-JIS

# characterset is replaced to HeiseiKakuGo-W5-Acro CID font.

# .....SJIS = "HeiseiKakuGo-W5-Acro"

"3 of 9 Barcode"..... = "3 of 9 Barcode"

[ PDF:Embed ]

# This example shows how to embed Type 1 Arial font into the PDF file:

# Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"

# You need to specify the .pfm file before the .pfb file.

# The font files must exist in one of the folders specified in REPORTS_PATH.

[ PDF:Subset ]

# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file

Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"

#Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"

Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"

#Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"

"Arabic Transparent"..Italic.Bold.. = "ARIALBI.TTF".....

"Arabic Transparent"..Italic... = "ARIALI.TTF".....

"Arabic Transparent"...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"

"Arabic Transparent"..... = "artro.ttf"                                                 

Tahoma = "TAHOMA.ttf".....ar8mswin1256

#Arial = "Tahoma"

"Tahoma Bold" = "tahomabd.ttf"

Tahoma...Bold.. = "tohamabd.ttf"

Tahoma..... = "tohama.ttf"

"Simplified Arabic"="arial.ttf"

"Simplified Arabic"...Bold.. ="arial.ttf"

"Times New Roman"..Italic.Bold.. = "timesbi.ttf"

"Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "timesbd.ttf"

"Times New Roman"..Italic... = "timesi.ttf"

"Times New Roman"..... = "times.ttf"

"Courier New"..Italic.Bold.. = "courbi.ttf"

"Courier New"...Bold.. = "courbd.ttf"

"Courier New"..Italic... = "couri.ttf"

"Courier New"..... = "cour.ttf"

Courier..... = "cour.ttf"

Courier...Bold.. = "courbd.ttf"

"3 of 9 Barcode"..... = "bar1.TTF"


Your valuable advises/assistance is highly appreciated.

Syed
