Where does the report engine look to get the fonts that it generates the
PDF from? I'm trying to use a barcode font on a generic Linux system, but
I'm not sure where I need to install the font at. Will a true type font
work with this?

Thanks

Does anyone know where the report engine looks for the font directory? I'm
using Linux RedHat enterprise 4, and I tried adding the font I need into
the font folder. The report still doesn't use the barcode font that I'm
trying to add.

I tried using the setFontDirectory method in the PDFRenderContext class,
but it still isn't working.

What font directory is the report engine looking in to get the fonts?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

It looks in the directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype.
