Hello everybody,
I need all my reports to have a special font (Berlin Sans FB Demi), but I
haven't found the way to do it.
I'm working on Linux, so I registered the font in the system, and I added
a styly that uses the new font:
<style name="MyPersonalStyle">
<property name="fontFamily">Berlin Sans FB Demi</property>
<property name="color">#A52A2A</property>
</style>
So, when I'm in the report designer the font appears ok, but If I try to
preview it I get a different font, I guess the default font.
Is there any way to register the font in BIRT for it to appear in the font
selection? For example if I go to the Property Editor for a Cell, in the
Font section I get a list with only some general fonts, the most standard
I guess.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot.

BIRT 2.0 supports user-defined TrueType fonts for PDF report. The following
steps present how to install TrueType fonts for BIRT2.0 PDF.
Install TrueType fonts on UNIX (Linux, FreeBSD etc):
1. Copy TrueType fonts to a designated directory (such as
/share/fonts).
2. Generate fonts.dir and fonts.scale in the directory.
3. Make these fonts available to JRE. Open font.properties file under
jre/lib directory, set appendedfontpath=/share/fonts
4. Launch BIRT by adding a JVM system property: BIRT_FONT_PATH.
Server mode: add -DBIRT_FONT_PATH="/share/fonts" to command line.
Web application mode: add
<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_FONT_PATH</param-name>
<param-value>/share/fonts</param-value>
</context-param> to web.xml.
If you'd like to install TrueType fonts on Windows, just
simply copy the TrueType fonts to system font directory (such as
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts).
Thanks,
Gang
