Perform these procedures if you want to improve the quality of the fonts.
Interactive Reporting Service must be configured with appropriate fonts to ensure that BQY documents in EPM Workspace have a consistent look and feel with the Web Client. You must make Type1, TrueType, or OpenType fonts available to Interactive Reporting Service. The configured fonts must support characters for all intended languages.
EPM System Installer installs Andale WT font in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/fonts directory and configures Interactive Reporting Service to use it. This font supports most characters from Western European languages, as well as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Customers must use fonts appropriate for their usage. For example, when using Western European languages, for a Windows-like look and feel, you could download Microsoft’s TrueType Web fonts and configure as below:
To make Microsoft’s TrueType Web fonts available to EPM Workspace:
Download the Microsoft TrueType Web fonts from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/ or other source.
If you are using downloaded Microsoft fonts, extract each file (*.exe) into the newly created directory using the cabextract utility:
downloadLocation/cabextract -d directory CAB fileTip:
Cabextract is an open-source tool that enables you to extract font files. You can download it from the Web.
Using the ttmkfdir utility, create a fonts.dir file in the directory containing the font files.
Tip:
You can download the ttmkfdir utility from the following URL: http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/ttmkfdir.
Add the fonts.dir directory to environment variable FONT_PATH, or add it to the BQ_FONT_PATH environment variable inside EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/raframeworkrt/11.1.2.0/bin/set_common_env.sh.
