Example: Specifying a true type font directory flag

When the PDF driver generates output file for a template, it checks common font directories for the fonts to be used. If the system has additional fonts installed in a non-default directory, you can specify these font directories in the configuration file for the Launcher application.

About this task

Windows icon Common Windows font directory:
  • C:\Windows\Fonts
Linux icon Common Linux font directories:
  • /usr/share/fonts
  • /usr/local/share/fonts
  • /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Procedure

  1. Open the configuration file for the Document Studio application with a text editor. The default location of the configuration file is: %RPE_HOME%\studio\rpe-studio.ini
  2. Add -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.pdf.truetypefontdirectory and the font directory to the end of the file. Use a semicolon to separate multiple directories. Example:
    • Windows icon: -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.pdf.truetypefontdirectory=C:\Windows\Fonts;d:\fontlib
    • Linux icon: -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.pdf.truetypefontdirectory=/usr/share/font;/usr/local/share/fonts
  3. Save the changes.
