How-To: Configure New Font On BI Desktop Publisher


In most of the projects we will come across building a report having Barcode or MICR font.

So once you install your new font under Windows/Fonts/ directory you will still not be seeing that font when you preview PDF output.

What to do in that case?
Here are the steps to follow on installing new font on your PC/Laptop.
1.  Copy new font file to Windows/Fonts directory.

2.  Copy xdo.cfg in C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config directory. (if do not have one xdo.cfg, do not worry. xdo example.cfg will be avaialble by default in this folder. So rename this file to xdo.cfg or create one new file name xdo.cfg

3.  Right click the font file and go to properties, Copy the .ttf file name

4.  Open the xdo.cfg file and paste as follows (My filename is "Troy E-13B.ttf" and font family is "Troy E-13B")
