Adding Converted Fonts to Charting Image Server

This topic is part of the process Configuring Unicode Support for Analytics Charts.

This task shows how to add a font to the PopChart image server. Corda chart template (pcxml) files describe various chart types.

TIP:   Corda chart template files are located in the directory containing the chart server files, $INSTALLDIR\Web\App\Res\s_Siebelxx\PopBin (where xx represents a number corresponding to the Siebel software release, such as 78 for release 7.8.x).

In these files, by default, a font name is not referenced but font size is. You edit a pcxml file to refer to the font newly converted during the task Converting Chart Fonts for Analytics Web Charts. Any text editor can be used to edit the pcxml files.

CAUTION:  Back up this directory before editing any pcxml files.

To add a font to PopChart image server templates

1. Open the pcxml file in the text editor (for example, pie.pcxml).
2. In the file, search for the word Font.
3. Add the display name of the font that was specified during the font conversion.

   For example, to add the Arial font to pie.pcxml, search for the word Font:

   <Properties TransparentFill='True' BorderType='None' Font='Size:11; Style:Bold;'/>

   Add the font display name attribute so that the line reads:

   <Properties TransparentFill='True' BorderType='None' Font='Name:Arial; Size:11; Style:Bold;'/>

4. Save and close the pcxml file.

   NOTE:  Perform Steps 1 through 4 for each pcxml file.

5. Stop and restart the Siebel Analytics Web Server and PopChart server in order to see the changes.
