XML
Publisher 5.6 has a new tab called Administration; this replaces the xdo.cfg
configuration file.
Now fonts can be uploaded and stored in the database
instead on the file system. Under the Administration tab there are sub tabs:
Configuration, Font Mappings and Font Files and Currencies. Follow below steps
to install a font:
1. Log in as XML
Publisher Administrator.
2. Navigate to
Administration->Font Files->Create Font File.
3. Fields are Font
Name and File. For Font Name choose any descriptive name. Ex: GnuMICR File will
browse your PC to locate the font file. Upload the .ttf file you want to
upload.
4. Navigate to Font
Mappings->Create Font Mapping Set.
5. Mapping name is the
name you will give to a set of fonts. Ex: GnuMICR
6. Mapping code is the
internal name you will give to this set. Ex: GnuMICR
7. Type: 'PDF Form'
for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
8. Create Font Mapping
(this allows you to add fonts to a set).
9. Font Family is the
exact same name you see in Word under Fonts. If you don't use the same name the
font will not be picked up at runtime.
Ex:
For Check printing of GnuMICR font put the name as GnuMICR
10. Style and weight
must also match how you use the font in windows. Normal and Normal are good
defaults.
11. Navigate to
Configuration General-> FO Processing->Font Mapping Set. This can also be
done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration. Hierarchy is
Site-> Data Def -> Template.
12. Select your new
mapping set.
13. Make sure the font
is not referenced under File->Properties->Custom in the RTF template
file.
14. Under General set a
Temporary Directory. The font will be downloaded here under /fonts to be used
at runtime, the first time the font are used.
15. Upload a template
that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a
concurrent request.
