Set up the webvdme-fonts.properties file

You create and edit the webvdme-fonts.properties file to store font information for Oracle Empirica Signal.

Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.

1. Navigate to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cd /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal/WEB-INF/classes

2. If this is a new installation:
   1. 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

   2. Using a text editor, open the webvdme-fonts.properties file.
   3. 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 Oracle Empirica Signal installation files.

   4. Save and close the file.
3. For all other upgrades, copy your previous webvdme_fonts.properties to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cp /u01/stage/Signal_Install_old/Signal/WEB-
   INF/classes/webvdme_fonts.properties /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal/WEB-
   INF/classes/webvdme_fonts.properties
