Font Configuration Files
uiprint.txt (UNIX only)
The printer configuration file contains a list of printers installed for the application
along with the type of the printer, its version, and the printer definition file. The list of
available fonts for runtime is taken from the printer definition file. If no printer is
present, Oracle Reports chooses a PostScript printer as the default and default.ppd
file as the printer definition file.

Printer: Printer_driver:Driver_specifying_language_and_level:Printer_
description:Printer_definition_file:
Each line contains five fields separated by colons.
If you are using PCL printing, then this entry should contain the name of an HPD file.
screenprinter.ppd (UNIX only)
screenprinter.ppd is used when a printer is not available on UNIX.
screenprinter.ppd is in ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin/PPD.
uifont.ali
This file contains mapping information for fonts which can be substituted for other
fonts at runtime. Refer to Font Aliasing for more information.
Oracle Reports has added three new sections to the uifont.ali file:
[PDF] - Used for font aliasing and multi-byte language support
[PDF:Subset] - Used for TrueType font subsetting and multi-byte language support
[PDF:Embed] - Used for Type1 font embedding
Caution: Do not alter the sections as Oracle Reports parses the
uifont.ali file looking for keywords. The sections can be in any
order.
Some general rules for the uifont.ali file are:
■ Use double quotes around any font or character set names containing two or more
words, or spaces.
■ Use # in the first column for comments.
■ Comment out lines instead of deleting them to be able to use them in the future.
■ Font aliasing is a font name-to-font name or character set-to-CID font (from Adobe)
only.
■ Font subsetting is for TrueType fonts only.
■ Font subsetting uses the font name and subsets using the TrueType font file name.
