Font package installation

A font package must be installed on the ImageMaster application server to enable functionality like the following that depends on this:

• The internal components for generating reports and exports require this, like the export of a hit list in the WorkplaceClient.

• The Content Services for E-Mail require this to enable the mailbox synchronization, which in turn depends on the internal components for generating reports.

• The Signature Service requires this for generating the verification reports.

• The ImageMaster rendition service requires this to display document previews in the WorkplaceClient.

The following packages can be used, for example:

• liberation-fonts-x.x.x-x....noarch.rpm

• msttcorefonts-x.x-x.noarch.rpm

If a font cannot be installed globally (e.g. via the RPM Package Manager), you can install this locally into the application server home directory as follows:

1. Unpack the package.

2. Create the directory “.fonts” in the home directory of the application server.

   This default directory can also be changed by the administrator through the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.

3. Copy all files with the extension “.ttf” into this directory.

4. Reboot the system or reload the font cache by:

   fc-cache -f -v

   With the following command you can check the installation:

   fc-list

5. If the application server was already running and you installed the fonts in parallel, restart the ImageMaster application server.

Fonts that are provided by such a font package are referenced by the following JVM configuration option: ima.aspose.mono.spaced.fonts. If you install a different font package (other than one of the two listed here), either make sure that it contains one of the fonts listed in this JVM option, or adjust the JVM option so it contains one font that is available in your environment.
