Font Installation in BIRT
lakshmikanth
Hi,
We have a font namely Gill-Sans (Regular, Light, Bold, LightItalic). I have installed the font in the path C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. In General --> Font drop down it is getting displayed with the name Gill Sans. If the font is selected the TTF file which is installed first (Regular or Light) it is taken up and the other font type is ignored i.e. if the Light TTF is installed first then Regular TTF is ignored. I need to use both the types in the same report. Is there any way the font listed with different types in the dropdown or there is any way i can use the 2 TTF in the same report.
Please do the needful.
Thanks,
Lakshmikanth.

So, you're saying that when you install both the regular and then the light font, you only see the first installed version of the font in the drop down? Or no matter which one you pick from the drop down, you only get the first one installed? What version of BIRT are you using? Let me know.

Hi Michael,<br />
<br />
In the drop down it is listing only Gill Sans. If we select it then whatever the font installed first it is taking it up but i need to use both of the font styles.<br />
The version of the BIRT is birt-rcp-report-designer-2_2_0. It is not possible for me to download and use the latest version of BIRT. Please suggest me if any fix available for the version which i am using and please provide the version with which the issue would be resolved. As a last option i would go for the latest version, to get it and use is a tedious process.<br />

Thanks,<br />

Could you send me the font files you're using so I can try them out?
