Problem: A report, designed for generating PDF with the true-type font Univers in it, does not work while deployed on the web, and uses other fonts instead. Cause: there’s no Univers installed in the Reports Services on Unix. Solution: install the font and configure the Reports Service! Sounds simple In the process of figuring this out, I had several error-messages, like rep-1352 (The fonts specified for this report cannot be found for the character set specified by NLS_LANG), and rep-1 (nothing else). Took a lot of time to eliminate those errors, partly because there was a feature in the specified report what did’nt speed up the process of resolving this issue: embedded html. This caused for example the “rep-1”-error. With special thanks to Marc Riesewijk, developer: 1.

Home >Font Encoders >Oracle Reports >Oracle Reports Unix Barcode Font Installation Tutorial. Installing Fonts for Oracle Reports in UNIX. This step-by-step. Enscript: convert text files to PostScript, HTML, RTF, ANSI, and overstrikes. Apart from msvcrt.dll. If you download the package as Zip files, then you must download and install the dependencies zip file. With the -f (--font-name) option, enscript may give the error: 'Couldn't open AFM file for font font-name>, using default.

First, make a so called ‘AFM’-file of the font-files from your windows-client, which will be used to copy to the Linux-server. In the case of Univers there are the following files in c: windows fonts: -unvr55w.TTF -unvr56w.TTF -unvr57w.TTF -unvr58w.TTF -unvr65w.TTF -unvr66w.TTF -unvr67w.TTF -unvr68w.TTF Download the free tool. Install this in a seperate directory on your windows client. Unpack, en run ‘winbuild.bat’. Probably you get errors for missing dll’s. Put these dll’s in your path, or copy these to the ttf2pt1-directory, or download them to this directory.

Run winbuild.bat again until it’s without errors. Copy also the TTF-files in this directory on your client. Run the following commands on the prompt on your client: ttf2pt1 -a -e -Ob OW unvr55w.TTF ttf2pt1 -a -e -Ob OW unvr56w.TTF etc. Then you ought to get.afm- and.pfa -files for every font.

Copy the.afm-files to the Linux-machine in the directory: /guicommon/tk/admin/AFM Important: Binary-transfer!! Rename the files to names which are in the files: for example: oracle@uttltto:/software/oracle/product/10.2/middle/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM>head unvr55w.TTF StartFontMetrics 4.1 FontName Univers-Medium FullName Univers Medium Notice Copyright 1992-97 Hewlett-Packard.

EncodingScheme FontSpecific FamilyName Univers Weight Medium Version Version 1.3 [Hewlett-Packard] Characters 385 ItalicAngle 0.0 Rename this unvr55w.TTF to Univers-Medium: ==>mv unvr55w.TTF Univers-Medium Perform this to all the other files. Very important step: check these files on Carriage-returns with a script, e.q. Check_afm.sh: #?/bin/sh for fic in `ls *` do (od -a $fic grep -i cr) && echo “File containing a Carriage Return: ” $fic done There should be no output. When there’s output, probably something went wrong with copying from the client to Linux. Now the necessary files are on Linux.
