Ok great! Then what you can do is create an init parameter for your
servlet that provides the location of the font. The in your servlet you
can use servlet context to get to that parameter as follows:
String pathToFont =
ServletContext.getInitParameter("nameOfFontInitParameter");

Do you know where the font is located on your system?

Hi Schalk,
Thanks a lot for your solution provided but for me that
s of no use becayse for my application I do not have any access to the
build files of my application. Is there any other way to create the Font

Thanks

Greetings Nilardi,
I created a properties file with an entry such as:
wealthReportWeb.plugins.dir=${wealthReportWeb.webContent.dir}/WEB-INF/pl
atform/plugins
wealthReportWeb.fonts.dir=${wealthReportWeb.plugins.dir}/org.eclipse.bir
t..report.engine.fonts_2.2.1.v20070823/fonts/
Inside my build.xml Ant script, I then have the following:
<target name="createBirtConfigProperties">
<propertyfile
file="${wealthReportWeb.gensrc.dir}/BirtConfig.properties">
<entry key="verdana" value="${wealthReportWeb.fonts.dir}/verdana.ttf" />
</propertyfile>
</target>
Then inside my code I do the following:
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(configProps.getString("verdana"),
BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
HTH!
Schalk Neethling

Hi
I am unable to create the Font inside my servlet and my page events
class. How to get the actual path of the Font file , can somebody help
me ?
the code written is :
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(fontPathName, BaseFont..IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Now this font path name must be the actual path of the file in the
system. The file is put inside webapp folder, hence inside the .war
file. This is required inside my page events class also.
Please help me if possible.
Thanks
Niladri.
