Configuring Double-byte Support for eG Enterprise
Ensure that one/more of these Universal fonts are downloaded to the eG manager host and
copied to the following locations therein:
\manager\fonts
\jre\lib\fonts
Note:
While copying the font files to the above-mentioned directories, ensure that the font file
extensions are in upper-case - in other words, copy the font files as .TTF and not .ttf.
6. Next, configure the eG manager to use any of the downloaded Universal fonts for displaying data
in the eG user interface. The choice of font, naturally, depends upon the language preference of
the user. For instance, to display data in the eG user interface in Chinese, you need to configure
the eG manager following the steps given below:
Edit the eg_ui.ini file (in the \manager\config directory) using Notepad.
In the [DOUBLE_BYTE_SETTINGS] section of the file, set the FONT_NAME parameter to Cyberbit, as
indicated below:
[DOUBLE_BYTE_SETTINGS]
FONT_NAME=Cyberbit
Save the eg_ui.ini file.
7. Also, to ensure that multi-byte support is extended to the eG reports that are saved as PDF
documents, do the following:
Download the font file Code2000.TTF from the web. In fact, there are many web sites that
provide downloads of this file. The site that we recommend is
http://www.code2000.net/code2000_page.htm.
Copy the downloaded font file to the \lib directory. Ensure that the file
extension is in upper-case - i.e., .TTF.
Next, move to the \lib directory, and issue the following command:
jar -cvf font.jar CODE2000.TTF
Then, check whether the font.jar is created in the \lib directory.
Note:
If your eG manager is double-byte enabled, but the Language preference that you have set in
the USER PROFILE page is English, then, you do not have to follow the steps discussed above to
ensure that reports are saved as PDF documents. However, while using a double-byte enabled
eG manager, if you have chosen to view data in a Language other than English, then reports
cannot be saved as PDF documents until the above-mentioned steps are followed.
