Chinese Characters are not shown in Reports PDF File - Intergraph Smart Materials - Version 2020 (10.0) - Installation & Upgrade - Hexagon

If you create a report with Chinese (or any other non-default font) characters and the resulting .pdf file does not show any of these characters, you must set the REPORTS_INSTANCE registry variable as described below.

1. Open the registry, and go to

   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\<Your Reports 12c key>.

2. Add a new String Value called REPORTS_INSTANCE.

3. Add a value to REPORTS_INSTANCE, like: 

   DOMAIN_HOME\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponents\<Reports Tools Instance>
   Example: 

   c:\iAS_12c\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponents\RepTools1

4. Close the registry.

5. Additionally, map the fonts in the uifont.ali file. The file can be found here:

   DOMAIN_HOME\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponents\<Reports Tools Instance>\tools\COMMON\uifont.ali
