Question

Location of fonts used by CFIMAGE on Linux

Hi,

I'm trying to determine where and how to add fonts that can be used by CFIMAGE on a linux 64 server. Apparently the only ones available are one like Courier, and a couple of general ones. I have a whole bunch of TTF fonts and I want to make sure that I put them in the correct place to be used by CFIMAGE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    add them to your linux box system using it's functionality which i guess depends

    on your linux flavor.

    if you want to use them for flashpaper/PDF generation, add them using the

    cfadmin "font management" menu (cf might pick them from the system, so check first).

    Paul,

    The font management in the administrator doesn't control the CFIMAGE fonts. I believe they are in the /coldfusion9/runtime/jre/lib/fonts directory but I would to know for sure before I spend the time and up not having the fonts in the rights. The font management is for handing the web site traffic but doesn't seem to be for the CFIMAGE. Any confirmations on that would be great.

    Thanks,

    -Drew

    "if you want to use them for flashpaper/PDF generation"

    cfimage uses the "system" fonts. if linux can use them, so should cfimage. just

    test w/one if you want to double check.
