Make fonts available

Ensure that the fonts used within a form are available for use on the J2EE application server hosting LiveCycle. For example, consider the following scenario. A form designer adds a font to the font directory that Designer uses and creates a form that uses that font on a separate computer. In order for the Output service to use the font, place it in the Customer fonts directory. If the Customer fonts directory does not exist, create a directory on the J2EE application server hosting LiveCycle.

For information on additional font settings, see Configure general LiveCycle settings.

Specify the location of the Customer fonts directory

  1. In Administration Console, click Settings > Core Systems Settings > Configurations.

  2. In the Location Of The System Fonts Directory box, type the path to the Customer fonts directory. Multiple directories can be added, separated by a semicolon (;)

  3. Click OK.

  4. Restart the application server on which LiveCycle is installed.

Note: Fonts are picked from the Windows system font cache and a system restart is required to update the cache. After specifying the Customer font directory, ensure that you restart the system on which LiveCycle is installed
