Oracle Reports Builder Barcode fonts disappearing


I have an issue with Oracle Reports builder. I am converting the RDF to XML and a few certain fonts, such as Barcode fonts disappear. They are written in the XML though.

The images below show the result (F_4 even has a custom font and it works fine):

I've done some research into it myself and I haven't really been able to figure out the rule, why these fonts disappear or why they can be saved by report builder, but not reused from xml.


Solution

  • I have actually managed to figure this one out. This issue was resolved in version 12.

    In version 11, it appears that some fonts can bug out due to their charset configuration. Editing the font with a tool called FontForge, and assigning it the same value charset of the other fonts that worked, is what resolved it in the end.
