Install fonts to be used by Oracle Report Builder

[Jorge Fabregas]

Hello everyone,

We are running Oracle 9iDS (9i Developer Suite) on HP-UX 11.11. When I open the Report Builder I have just a couple of fonts to use whereas on the Windows version I have all the major fonts. I would like to have the same fonts I have on Windows available on HP-UX.

Our developers develop mainly on Windows and then they will handle me the reports and I'll put them on the server. The problem is that the Report Server is also running on HP-UX and it will generate the files (PDF output) based on the fonts it could find (not necessarily the fonts specified by the developer on Windows) so the report server chooses another font to generate the PDF (most of the time, they look very ugly...). The developers could use the X11 report builder but they're limited to a very limited set of fonts...

My question is: Do you know any whitpaper that will help me on this? Have you ever add fonts to HP-UX for this reason? Where can I get them?

Thanks!
Jorge
