Two environment variables allow for backward compatibility with the font mechanisms of prior releases:

Table 11-2 shows the font name and Table Directory number values for common East Asian TrueType Collection files on the Windows platform. If the table_directory_number is omitted or if you supply an invalid value, Oracle Reports will always subset the first font program in the TrueType Collection file. Table_directory_number is the Table Directory number for the TrueType font in a TrueType Collection file, using a zero-based index (for example, " MS PGothic" = "msgothic.ttc,1" indicates that Oracle Reports should use the second font in the TrueType Collection file). Ttc_file_name is a TrueType Collection file name. ttc) file, the syntax for the entry in the section in uifont.ali is:įont_name = " ttc_file_name"įont_name is the font name, which must be enclosed in quotes if it contains more than one word. To use TrueType fonts in a TrueType Collection (.

The font_file_name is not the font name displayed in Oracle Reports Builder. Version 5.0 fonts are compatible with Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 and later. It is recommended that you use Version 5.0 CID fonts (*) in order to avoid unexpected font mapping, which results in multibyte characters overlapping.

(**) These fonts are available in Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 and later. (*) These fonts are available in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 and later.

Table 11-1 CID Font Mapping for PDF Font Aliasing Language The fonts used will not be embedded in the PDF file. The PDF file will contain only the necessary font information required to display the output. Now, with support for TTF and TTC files on UNIX, a font such as Arial is supported on both Windows and UNIX, eliminating the need for aliasing.įont aliasing occurs at the time of generating the PDF file. In such cases, it was necessary to alias the Windows fonts to other fonts with a similar style available on UNIX (for example, Helvetica).

In prior releases, a report may have been created with fonts that are readily available on Windows, but not on UNIX (for example, Arial font). The font enhancements in Oracle Reports make font aliasing unnecessary in almost all cases. For font aliasing considerations when designing multilingual applications, see Section 23.2.1.3.2, "Font Aliasing Considerations". You can alias multibyte fonts as well as character sets. This font-to-font substitution is usually used when porting applications (in this case, your PDF file) across platforms. Font aliasing enables you to substitute one font for another that is, font-to-font substitution.
