Add font to BirtViewerApp [message #805512]

Hello!

I'm deploying my reports with the BirtViewerApp as war-Package. To display the reports correctly I need to add a font to the ViewerApp.

I don't have direct access to the server so I can't add the font in any folder that is searched by the app. Is there any chance to add the font to the war package so the BirtViewerApp loads it via the classpath?

I'm open for all of your ideas Smile

Thanks!

After some further research I found out I can use
com.lowagie.text.FontFactory.register("com/foo/bar/arial.ttf");
to load fonts in standard java class.
Birt registered the fonts listed in the fontconfig.xml via FontFactory.registerDirectory

So the question is - is there any chance to call this line from a rptdesign-file?
If i just copy the line in initialize-method of the report I get:
TypeError: Cannot call property register in object [JavaPackage com.lowagie.text.FontFactory]. It is not a function, it is "object". (/report/method[@name="initialize"]#1) (Element ID:1)

I think the FontFactory isn't on the classpath...

Any ideas?

Is using an environment variable not an option?
