cfdocument font problem

Report · Apr 24, 2006

Hi all,

I used cfdocument to create a pdf. Anfortunately the font used in the content isn't showed in the pdf. I define the font with css in the file itself. The font is installed on the server and fontembed (property of cfdocument) is set to yes. The strange thing is the font shows when a pdf is created via a report (.cfr).

When I test the file on my localmachine it works fine, but on the server it doesnt work. My local machine runs om Windows, the server runs on Unix. Both machines are running Coldfusion MX 7. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanx already for your answer!

Best regards,
Paul

Can someone please take a look at this problem? It is quite annoying, but I need to get the corporate font in the pdf.

Thanx!!

Hi paul,
We will look in to this issue. Could you please send me a sample code which does not work on unix box so that I can replicate this. Which font are you using? Do you mean that the cfreport generates PDF with the correct font on Unix box but cfdocument does not?

thanks.

Thank you for your answer and sorry for replying this late. We use the IKEA Sans font family. This is the corporate font (truetype). Yes I do mean that the cfreport generates PDF with the correct font on Unix box but cfdocument does not. Below you will find a short example:

<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" pagetype="A4" fontembed="yes">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Pdf test</title>
<style type="text/css">
BODY, TD {
font-family: "IKEA Sans", Arial;
font-size: 25px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Hello world!! Wel iets met een a-tje erin.
</body>
</html>
</cfdocument>

If you need more information please let me know! Thank you for your time already!

Best regards,
Paul

Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately I have not solved this problem... I reported this as a bug at Adobe but no response untill now. Rupeshk was my only hope but he didn't come back on this problem yet. Hopefully he will still answer.

Sorry I can't help you.
