Cannot output Garamond font to PDF output
I need to create a report using the Garamond font. I can do this using HTML output. When the output is changed to PDF I get the following error message:
(FOC3203) UNRECOGNIZED FONT IN STYLESHEET FILE AT LINE: 19

Here is the program:

This has been coded using WebFOCUS 5.3.3.

Anyone know why Garamond cannot be used with PDF output?

JohnK, I hope you have the WebFOCUS 5 Createing Reports with WebFOCUS Language Doc. If you do look at page 8-10 Adding PostScript Type 1 Fonts for PS and PDF Formats. If you don't you can download the manual from techsupport.ibi.com

Hope this helps

You need to purchase this font as a PS Type1 font. You can purchase it from myfonts.com for $99. It would contain 4 font styles.

You would just copy the .AFM, .INF and .PFB font files to c:\ibi\srv??\home\etc directory.

You must also update pdf.fmp located in the same directory.
