<includeonly>===Adding Multibyte Character Set Fonts for PDF Printing===</includeonly>
Single-byte fonts print properly but, while multibyte display properly on screen, an additional configuration step is needed to make them available to the PDF rendering engine. 

'''To install multibyte fonts:''' 
# Identify the fonts you need.<br>For example, for any of the East Asian languages like Chinese, Korean, Hindi, or Japanese, you need the following font files:
#:* batang.ttc
#:* simsun.ttc
#:* mangal.ttf
#:* mangalb.ttf
#:
# Locate those files.
#:* If they are already part of your Linux installation, you should find them at <tt>/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/</tt>
#:* If you do not see the files under <tt>/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/</tt>, 
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
:::<li> Download the files from [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms903863.aspx web], and place them in <tt>/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/</tt> directory OR </li>
:::<li> Copy the fonts file from <tt>/Windows/Fonts/</tt> folder in your Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation to <tt>/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/</tt> directory in your Linux environment, as these files are OS-independent. </li>
</ol>
# Delete the <tt> pd4browser.properties </tt> file present under <tt> {INSTALL-DIR}/AgileApps/lib</tt>. 
::'''Note:''' Take a backup of this file before this operation.
# Execute the commands to create that configuration file that the PDF rendering engine needs:
#:#<syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div">
cd {install_dir}/AgileApps/lib
java -jar pd4ml.jar -configure.fonts /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/
</syntaxhighlight>
#:#This step creates the <tt>pd4fonts.properties</tt> file, which contains a list of fonts and <tt> pd4browser.properties </tt> file.
# Restart Tomcat. <br>The fonts are now available for use.
