Symptoms

Unable to print Barcode font (128R00.TTF) on an Embedded BI Publisher report. The barcode font will not render in the PDF output.

System seems unable to read the xdo.cfg file where 128R00.TTF font is defined.

The font has already been defined in the xdo.cfg file as follows:

The current setting in xdo.cfg is as follows:

    <fonts>
        <font family="Albany WT SC" style="normal" weight="bold">
       <truetype path="/E920SYS/Resource/truetype/ALBANWTS.ttf" />        
        </font>
      <font family="Code 128" style="normal" weight="normal">
       <truetype path="/E920SYS/RESOURCE/truetype/128R00.TTF" />       
        </font>
    </fonts>


The xdo.cfg file have been copied to the following locations:

/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk70/32bit/jre/lib
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk70/64bit/jre/lib
/System/Classes

The 128R00.TTF file has also been installed in the following locations:

/E920SYSDV/RESOURCE/truetype/128R00.TTF
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk70/32bit/jre/lib/fonts
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk70/64bit/jre/lib/fonts

The AS400 Enterprise Server JDE.INI has the following settings:
