Set 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.

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

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

  2. 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

  3. Using a text editor, open the webvdme-fonts.properties file.
  4. 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.

  5. (Upgrade only) If you customized the webvdme-fonts.properties file for the previous release of the Empirica Signal software:
    1. Install Linux versions of the fonts to preserve on the application server.
    2. Update the webvdme-fonts.properties file with the names of the fonts you installed.
  6. Save and close the file.
