Unicode PDF Output

Reporting from a Unicode data source with PDF output format is available when using the following two fonts which support Unicode characters:

The Lucida Sans Unicode font is the default font if the WebFOCUS Server is configured for UTF-8 (code page 65001) or UTF-EBCDIC (code page 65002).

If the server is configured for Unicode, and you want to use the Arial Unicode MS font instead, you must specify the Arial Unicode MS font in the StyleSheet. Alternatively, if the WebFOCUS PDF font mapping file (drive:\ibi\srvnn\wfs\etc\fontuser.xml, where nn is your version of the Reporting Server) has default="yes" specified for Arial Unicode MS, then it becomes the default font. For example:

  <family name="Arial Unicode MS">
    <font style="normal"
          metricsfile="pdarum"   default="yes" />
    <font style="bold"
          metricsfile="pdarumb"  />
    <font style="italic"
          metricsfile="pdarumi"  />
    <font style="bold+italic"
          metricsfile="pdarumbi" />
  </family>

For more information about how to use the PDF font mapping file, see the Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language manual.
