Fonts Missing on PDF Server

When you install an IBM Cognos Series 7 product without fonts, then apply the configuration in Configuration Manager, the embedded font list of the PDF Rendering Service contains only a default list of OS fonts.

However, if you later install an IBM Cognos Series 7 product with fonts, the embedded font list is not updated after configuration. Therefore the fonts are still not available to the PDF Rendering Service.

To update the PDF rendering service embedded fonts list in Configuration Manager, follow these steps:

1. Locate Services/PDF Rendering in the left pane.
2. Right-click and select Set to Default.

The font list located in Services/PDF Rendering/Font Embedding/Font Embed List and the Services/PDF Rendering/Font Paths/Default Font entries is updated to include the installed fonts.

3. Apply the new configuration

Note: If you do not run Configuration Manager and apply settings between product installations, the PDF Rendering settings are not applied and this issue does not occur.
