Arabic numbers are not displaying properly in Report Builder 11.2

User_AWHMXOct 27 2021

Hai Everyone,
I have a query related to Arabic numbers. Actually i'm using report builder 11g which its having Arabic text and numbers. Arabic text is working fine and if add the below parameters in reports.sh file Arabic numbers also displaying proper but full report its showing Arabic numbers.
REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERAL=HINDI
REPORTS_BIDI_ALGORITHM=UNICODE
Actually i want to display a specific field only in Arabic numbers and i don't want to display all the fields in Arabic. Without adding the above parameters and without disturbing the other fields is it possible to display the specific field in Arabic numbers.

Try setting REPORTS_ENHANCED_BIDIHANDLING=YES to use the new BIDI mechanism.
Thanks, Suresh

Dear Mr. Suresh,

Mr. Suresh,
After i did also its changing for all the fields as per attachment. actually i just want to change the price field only in arabic numbers and others should be normal only. But if i add all 3 its changing whole invoice.

Has the report been built in that way to show ONLY Price field in Arabic and others are in English Numerical?
Is the value database derived or static/computed in Reports?
What is the NLS_LANG used during Build/recompile and runtime?
Checking if PDF subsetting is already enabled.

No thats what i want to know that how can i do that.
Is the value database derived or static/computed in Reports?
these values from the database only.
What is the NLS_LANG used during Build/recompile and runtime?
AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
Checking if PDF subsetting is already enabled. Yes its enabled.

When you say database columns, are the values stored as multibyte/Arabic in the database?
What are the font mappings for PDF subsetting?
Thanks, Suresh

no its not stored in arabic. its numeric numbers only.
i think if we add new arabic font its working in test environment. i will test in produstion also.
helvetica..Oblique.Medium = "Sadvocra.ttf"
helvetica..Plain.Medium = "Sadc128d.ttf"
helvetica...Bold = "CarolinaBar-B39-25F2-Normal.ttf"
