When deploying Financial Reporting to a Linux or a UNIX server, some of the Microsoft system fonts that are available in Financial Reporting may not be available when printing, since these fonts are not included in Linux or UNIX. For example, the font “Microsoft Sans Serif” in bold or italics will initially display as a regular font without bold or italics applied.
In order to deploy these fonts on a Financial Reporting server on Linux or UNIX, the fonts must be download and installed.
Note: | Financial Reporting only supports true-type fonts. These fonts can be either licensed from Microsoft, or you can download a free alternative from the web. |
After the fonts have been installed on the server, you must update the xdo.cfg file to include the new fonts. The xdo.cfg file maps all the fonts in the report to font files on the server. This file also contains other print server settings.
By default, the xdo.cfg file is located in:
EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/FinancialReporting/lib/FOProcessor
To update the xdo.cfg file, run the FRPrintServerUtility on the Financial Reporting server. The FRPrintServerUtility scans the system fonts and revises the xdo.cfg file to recognize the new fonts.
By default, the FRPrintServerUtility is located in:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/financialreporting/bin
