Setting up the webvdme-fonts.properties file
You create and edit the webvdme-fonts.properties file to store font information for the Empirica Signal.
Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.
- Navigate to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:
$ cd /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal/WEB-INF/classes
- Copy the template_webvdme-fonts.properties file into the same directory, and name the copy webvdme-fonts.properties, for example:
$ cp template_webvdme-fonts.properties webvdme-fonts.properties
- Using a text editor, open the webvdme-fonts.properties file.
- To support Asian fonts in PDF output, specify the Albany WT Unicode font as the base font, for example:
iText.TABLE_WRITER_BASE_FONT_PATH=ALBANYWTJ.TTF
iText.CASE_SERIES_DETAIL_BASE_FONT_PATH=ALBANYWTJ.TTF
iText.TOPIC_WRITER_BASE_FONT_PATH=ALBANYWTJ.TTF
The Albany WT Unicode font is packaged with the Empirica Signal installation files.
- (Upgrade only) If you customized the webvdme-fonts.properties file for the previous release of the Empirica Signal software:
- Install Linux versions of the fonts to preserve on the application server.
- Update the webvdme-fonts.properties file with the names of the fonts you installed.
- Save and close the file.
