Importing OpenType fonts to the FXR in Documaker 12.5

user10085483Nov 12 2019 — edited Feb 9 2021

We have licensed an OpenType font and are trying to make it available in Documaker Studio to produce on-demand PDF documents.  I imported the font to the FXR using the Font Type:  True Type font and I can see the fonts in the FXR with some properties and the Font Sample window looks okay.  When we use the font, it presents with weird spacing.  The Oracle Documaker Output Management guide indicates Documaker doesn’t support opentype fonts with an OTF file extension and that’s what I have.  Can I import OpenType fonts to the Documaker FXR?

While you can't import an .OTF OpenType font (containing Postscript outlines), there are tools that will let you convert an .OTF OpenType font (containing Postscript outlines) to a TypeType font which you can use.

Thank you.  I will look into whether our licensing allows us to convert the font.

I imported the TrueType font, confirmed they are in the fxr, and we have a FOR containing many FAPs using the new font. When the developer runs a test scenario for the form, he receives font errors:

When he runs a batch test, the PDF produces without errors and the Adobe font properties include the new font.

Can you help me resolve the font issue with our test scenarios?

I would have to guess the most likely scenario is that the form developer does not have the "new" FXR. Perhaps their local studio run utilizes a different application BDF definition, which is where the associated FXR is defined and it is literally a different named FXR. If the name of the FXR did not change, then I would still question if the local user has pointed to the correct (updated) FXR file.

Thank you.  The developer had a local FXR that was being used by the test scenario.  Once removed, the test scenario picked up the new fonts.
