Specifying the location of available fonts

You must specify the installation location of all fonts, including fonts that you add to the list of supported fonts.

By default, the list of fonts consists of fonts that are installed in the install_location\bin\fonts directory of the IBM® Cognos® computer. If IBM Cognos components are installed on a Microsoft Windows operating system computer, they also use the fonts that are installed in the Windows font directory.

You specify the font location on all computers where Application Tier Components are installed.

Procedure

  1. On each Application Tier Components computer, start IBM Cognos Configuration.
  2. In the Explorer window, click Environment.
  3. In the Properties window, for the Physical fonts locations property, specify the location of the fonts.

    If there are multiple font paths, separate each path by a semicolon (;).

    If you are using an application server other than one that is provided with IBM Cognos Analytics, enter the fully qualified path to the font location. For example: install_location\bin\fonts.

  4. From the File menu, click Save.
