Birt Runtime 2.3.0 - Linux - PostScript Font

cifuller

I am deploying a report to a linux environment using birt runtime 2.3.0.

The report design references a postscript font.

The font files are installed on the linux system (afm/pfm/pfb files).

The report can reference a ttf font in the installation directory.

However, when referencing a postscript font, it fails and defaults to the times-roman font.

Can birt use postscript fonts to generate pdf files on linux?
Or is there a setup that needs to be performed for these kinds of fonts?

(I did update the font_config.xml to point to the font directory on linux.)

Hi cifuller,<br />

Unfortunately, BIRT does not currently support postscript fonts, only true type fonts. Please go to <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php'>BIRT: Reporting Bugs and Requesting Enhancements</a> and log an enhancement request for this. Thanks.
