Managing Fonts in Reports

Oracle recommends that the report designer upload any TrueType fonts that your company uses to produce reports. You can upload individual font files or zipped files containing multiple TrueType fonts to the Fonts folder using Application Settings.

The font file must be a TrueType font and cannot already exist in the font folder structure. If you do upload a duplicate font, you will receive an error message indicating the duplicate (or invalid) font file. If you uploaded multiple fonts in a zip file, all other valid files are loaded.

When uploading a font, you must ensure whether that font has any variants such as Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic fonts which are part of the font family itself. In this case, you may want to upload the complete font family as a zip file instead of uploading the regular font file that will be used within the system. For more details about font family and its variants, see Microsoft Font library.

To upload fonts:

1. From the Home page, select Application, and then Settings.

2. On the Application Settings page, under System Settings, scroll down to Set Reporting Options, and then click Report Settings.

3. On the Settings page, click Manage Fonts.

4. On the Fonts page, click, and then select Upload File.

5. Click Browse in the Upload File dialog box to navigate to the TrueType fonts that you want to upload, and then click OK.

   Note:

   If you need to upload more than one font, create a zip file. Be aware that it might take some time to perform the upload depending on the size of the font file.
