Deploying a BIRT Report to an Application Server : Placing fonts on the application server
 
Placing fonts on the application server
BIRT Report Engine requires certain TrueType fonts to display a PDF report. BIRT searches for fonts in the common font directories for Windows and Linux. The directories that BIRT searches on a Windows system include:
*/windows/fonts for drives A through G
*/WINNT/fonts for drives A through G
and on a Linux system include:
*/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType
*/usr/share/fonts/truetype
If PDF reports appear to be missing content, place the necessary fonts in any of the directories in the preceding list. Alternatively, specify your own font search path in the environment variable BIRT_FONT_PATH.
