Configuration

Font Configuration

By default the OS fonts folder (where the Document Renderer Service is hosted) will be scanned for available fonts which can be used in the PDF generation. Only ttf and ttc fonts are supported.

Custom font directory

Custom fonts can be added by setting the 'fonts:location' property. This property is a relative path from the 'blueriq:documents:baseFolder'.  In the properties example below the custom fonts location is set to 'Resources/documents/fonts/'. All fonts in this folder, and subfolders will be recursively added to the document renderer, and can be used in the documents.

blueriq:
  documents:
    baseFolder: Resources/
    xsltStyleSheet: documents/ibex/styles.xsl
    fonts:
      location: documents/fonts/
      aliasList:
        fontawesome regular: fontawesome
		font_id_xslt: fontname

Font Alias

When the fontname doesn't match the used id in the XSLT, an alias can be set for the font.

For example : Although it looks like the font is registered in windows under the name 'fontawesome regular', it actually is 'fontawesome'. In the XSLT the font is used with the id 'fontawesome regular' so an alias has to be used for the document renderer to match the font. As much aliases can be registered as needed. First is the key used in the XSTL, value is the fontname which is referred to.
