Location of fontsConfig.xml for BIRT 3.7 runtime installation [message #731517]

I'm trying to upgrade from BIRT 2.6.x to 3.7.1.

In 2.6 fontsConfig.xml file was located in org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts* folder. I need to change mapping in the file:
<mapping name="sans-serif" font-family="Arial" />
and add new fonts folder
<font-paths>
<path path="fonts"/>
</font-paths>

My question is, how to customiza that with BIRT 3.7.1 runtime installation?

I found that fontsConfig*.xml files as embeded to jar file org.eclipse.birt.runtime_3.7.1.v20110913-1734.jar. The jar file is signed (can't modify it manually).

Please, help ... Evil or Very Mad

Not exactly. I wish to change font mapping for sans-serif which must be done in fontsConfig.xml.

Fortunately a man from stackoverflow.com helps me. Here is a recipe:

It's not the cleanest way to go, but it's possible to edit them inside the jar file. You can remove the signature by deleting META-INF/ECLIPSEF.SF and removing everything from META-INF/MANIFEST.MF that goes after it's main section (filenames and digests...alternatively, remove just sections of the config files). It's not required to have the jar signed (I suppose it depends on security manager's settings, but under default settings it runs fine).

That stupid forum doesn't allow me insert correct external link, before my 5 post. Just dummy post #5.
