Hi All,

I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.

I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.

I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.

Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.

You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).

So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?

I will appreciate any help and documentations about.

Thank you,

Ari
