If you create a report with Chinese (or any other non-default font) characters and the resulting .pdf file does not show any of these characters, you must set the REPORTS_INSTANCE registry variable as described below.
-
Open the registry, and go to
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\<Your Reports 12c key>.
-
Add a new String Value called REPORTS_INSTANCE.
-
Add a value to REPORTS_INSTANCE, like:
DOMAIN_HOME\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponents\<Reports Tools Instance>
Example:c:\iAS_12c\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponents\RepTools1
-
Close the registry.
-
Additionally, map the fonts in the uifont.ali file. The file can be found here:
DOMAIN_HOME\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponents\<Reports Tools Instance>\tools\COMMON\uifont.ali
