Supported Fonts

REPORTER supports most fonts, giving you control over the look of your reports, and allowing you to create templates that match your organisations branding. The following font types are supported:

• TrueType fonts and collections ( .ttf and .ttc files)
• OpenType fonts and collections ( .otf and .otc files)
• Certain Type1 fonts (Printer Font Binary .pfb files and their .pfm metrics files)

The fonts that appear in REPORTER s font dialogs depend on the fonts available on your operating system. REPORTER searches the following locations for fonts:

On Windows:

• %WINDIR%\Fonts (typically C:\Windows\Fonts )

On Linux:

• /usr/share/fonts
• /usr/share/X11
• /usr/local/share/fonts

When REPORTER launches, it scans these locations for font files, processes the files it finds, and then writes the data to a cache file located at $OA_HOME/reporter_font_cache . On subsequent launches, REPORTER should load more quickly, because thereafter it only needs to process newly installed fonts.
