View source for Adding Multibyte Character Set Fonts for PDF Printing

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 they are not there, you can copy them to that location from a Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation, as they are OS-independent. You can find them in the <tt>/Windows/Fonts/</tt> folder. 
#:* As a last resort, download the files from the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms903863.aspx web], and place them in <tt>/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/</tt> 
#:
# Execute the commands to create that configuration file that the PDF rendering engine needs:
#:<syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div">
cd {tomcat_install_dir}/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.
#:
# Restart Tomcat. <br>The fonts are now available for use.
