Multibyte-Compatible Font Names in Report Designer

  To modify reports to use multibyte-compatible fonts:

1. Use FDM Workbench to log in to an application.

2. Select the Reports tab.

3. From the list of reports displayed in the left pane, right-click a report and select Design Report.

4. In Report Designer, select a field in which to change the font.

5. In the Property Toolbox, click the Font ellipsis icon (…).

6. In the Font dialog box, perform the following actions:

   1. In the Font field, select a multibyte-compatible font.

      For example, on a Japanese OS, MS Mincho and MS Gothic fonts are multibyte compatible.

   2. In the Script field, select a script type. The script type controls the character set that is supported.

      Depending on your current language settings and operating system version, the “Script” field may be displayed as “Character Set.”

   3. Click OK to close the Font dialog box.

      After completing Step 6, the default character set value of zero (0) in the Style field of the Property Toolbox should be set to the appropriate value. For example, for Japanese, the field may read font-family: '<font specified in step 6a>'; ddo-char-set: 128; font-size: 15.75pt; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0,0,128);

7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for all other fields in the report.

8. Click Save in the upper-right corner of the report designer.

   Note:

   The Font and Character Set values must be modified to run the reports whenever the required characters are not supported by the default values provided.

   Note:

   Multibyte-compatible font names do not display correctly in the Formatting Toolbar or the Property Toolbox. The font names do display correctly in the Font dialog box (step 6).
