Use these settings to associate font names specified in the eForms template to system font names.
These system fonts are used in place of the font specified in the template when printing or when rendering a PDF or TIFF image. If desired, multiple system font names can be specified. The first system font found will be used.
Print and graphics rendering services are available out-of-the box for Java™ web servers running on Windows®. These services include rendering graphics and images in PDF or TIFF format or printing to a network printer. All True Type Unicode fonts that represent printable characters in the range U+0000 to U+FFFF and installed on the host computer are supported.
Copy any fonts used in your eForms templates into the system\Fonts folder.
Print and graphics rendering services are available on supported non-Windows platforms. The out-of-the-box availability on these platforms includes rendering graphics and images in PDF or TIFF format or printing to a network printer. Only Java native fonts (Lucida family) are supported out-of-the-box. All True Type Unicode fonts that represent printable characters in the range U+0000 to U+FFFF and installed on the host computer are supported after the Java environment is configured. Install all True Type fonts to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts.
The IBM® FileNet® eForms for P8 software will attempt to locate the UNIX® font directory, but as the location can vary for each UNIX installation, you can manually enter the location in the preferences to ensure it is found. To set the fonts directory location, add the path attribute to the fonts element as shown below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <preferences> <fonts path=”/usr/X/lib/X11/fonts”> <font name="Helvetica" systemName="Arial,Sans Serif" /> </fonts> </preferences>
