Hi,
I have to deal again with Reports after 14 years of Reports-abstinence and I just got stuck with PDF Subsetting. The goal is to implement it to support some Unicode characters (cyrillic for Russian & Bulgarian language) and I read these articles already:

Therefore, I picked Arial (cyrillic) (regular, italic, bold, bold/italic) and adapted the .../config/FRComponent/frcommon/guicommon/tk/admin/uifont.ali file with these values:
[ PDF:Subset ]
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialb.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
I copied the fonts (.ttf files) into /opt/oracle/product/fusionfrm/frminst_1/reports/fonts directory (a default one), which is included within REPORTS_PATH. I used also dos2unix for those .ttf files, I restarted the Reports server, but still it doesn't work.
Do you have any idea, what I am missing?
In the meantime, I found some articles, that I have to convert those TTF fonts to Adobe Type 1 using ttf2pt1.exe and I will try it too.
Thanks in advance for any useful hint or comment.
