Re: sqr ini and fonts

Hi Sathya,

The font would need to be listed in the SQR.ini file.  However, by
default, upon installation the fonts section should of been installed.
If your ini file does not include the fonts, you will need to add them.
I've included the actual code below of the initial install for you to
add.  As long as the printer you are printing to recognizes this font,
which it should being Times New Roman, (but still verify that) and you
have put the font in the ini file you should be all set.

[Fonts]

; The following are SQR predefined font styles.
; The numbers on the left are associated with font styles on the right.
; Users may define their own associations between font_numbers and font
; styles using the font_numbers 900 thru 999.
;
; Notes:
;
;   - If SQR does not find a particular font a substitute is used.
;   - If a font style (fixed or proportional) is defined inside SQR,
;     its style will override the setting in this file.
;   - Proportional is assumed if the second field begins with the
character 'p'.
;     (i.e., "4=Arial,p" would equate to "4=Arial,proportional")
;   - Bold is assumed if a third parameter is supplied.
;
3=Courier New,fixed
300=Courier New,fixed,bold
4=Arial,proportional
400=Arial,proportional,bold
5=Times New Roman,proportional
500=Times New Roman,proportional,bold
6=AvantGarde,proportional
8=Palatino,proportional
800=Palatino,proportional,bold
11=Symbol,symbol
900=unknown,proportional
901=MS Shell Dlg,proportional
902=,proportional
903=@SimSun,proportional
904=@Batang,proportional

[PDF Fonts]
;Font Path = Directory where the .afm files reside.  Default is SQRDIR
3=Courier
300=Courier-Bold
4=Helvetica
400=Helvetica-Bold
5=Times-Roman
500=Times-Bold
11=Symbol
12=ZapfDingbats
30=Courier-Oblique
3000=Courier-BoldOblique
31=Helvetica-Oblique
3100=Helvetica-BoldOblique
32=Times-Italic
3200=Times-BoldItalic

Hope that helps.

Subject: sqr ini and fonts


I am using Brio portal windows 95 and Oracle 8i
database.

The sqr.ini file does not list section for fonts and
in the command line
I am using -printer:wp.  I am using the
Declare-Printer command and font
= 5. I am not able to get the font I would like for
the report.  I am
wondering if the font in the Declare-Printer sould
also be listed in the
INI file. If yes, why the sqr.ini file is created
without [Fonts] section.  Thanks.
