Disclaimer: While these steps work in most cases this implementation of custom fonts is not supported in APPX (not in 4.x or 5.x). Not all True Type fonts will work with PDF output. You may need to try different fonts to find one that works.

Defining Custom Fonts

Overview

Changed:

<

When designing graphical images in APPX there are 9 fonts pre-configured with the Desktop Client that are part of the Java installation within the client. In order to use custom fonts not included with the installation, such as bar codes, there are a few steps that must be taken. Follow these steps and you should be able to make use of custom fonts on your PDF outputs. Again, not all custom fonts will work and you may have to try more that one font to find one that does work.

The file must begin with a line that says: PS-Resources-1.0

Then, each section begins with a resource name (in this case, SearchPath), followed by the values assigned to that resource (C:\WINDOWS\Font and C:\MyCustomFonts), and the section is terminated with a line containing only a period.
