Hi Hafed

I want to install Unicode font on Linux box and use them in Oracle Forms & Reports 10g. You mentioned few metalink note IDs in your post but I don’t have access to metalink.

Can you be kind enough to send me steps / notes at my email ID.

Thanks

UMESH

@Sridhar: make sure the parameters for Tabloid are taken into account by the driver. Most likely, you will have to edit the driver and add it there.

Hi,
I came across this document you wrote back in Nov 2008 (Oracle Reports 10g Setup
Network printing (from Oracle Forms
dedicated printers)
IBM AIX)
We are in exact same situation but only differnece is we are on SOALRIS SPARC 10 and I am still using UNIX queue(thinking of putting on Windows Print Server). I am using hp5000 driver and when I print with Letter as defaultpagesize, region, dimension, Imageablearea it seems to be fine but when I change the defaults to Tabloid i.e, 11×17 it doesn’t print. Can you throw some some light on what I am missing.

Thanks
Sridhar

Hi,
Thanks for your share, it Works!!!
I just move the Oracle reports from Windows to Linux, but all test done, and fine. but suddenly the font size changes into bigger. With font solution all reports become normal again.
