Hi,

recently I had this problem: although my font Verdana is installed on the system (Ubuntu12.04) and my reports in Verdana font too, the PDF file appear in Times New Roman, after a google search I saw that others users had the same problem...so I decided create this topic hoping to help..

Method to solve (Linux):
Verdana is installed in this folder : /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts in my case
Edit the fontsConfig.xml in plugin folder and add the following line:
<path path="/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts" /> to <fonts-path>

Method to solve (Mac):
Edit the fontsConfig.xml in plugin folder and add the following line:
<path path="/Library/Fonts" /> to <fonts-path>

Best regards!

    Thanks for letting us know! If there isn't one already you could submit a devshare for that.

    Hi,

    How do we modify this fontsConfig.xml in the latest version of BIRT. We do't have the plugins folder in the latest version.
    I am using BIRT4.2.0.

    Regards,
    Priya
