Installing User Fonts

The following process contains details on installing user fonts.

Fonts (for example, barcode fonts) must be installed manually into each deployment server, for use by the system in the user interface, and in reports.

Assuming an EC2 deployment (RedHat), follow these steps:

Transfer .tff font files to the server.
Move them into the following folder:
```
/usr/share/fonts/ 
```

It is OK to place fonts into subdirectories. Depending on the Linux variant, true type fonts may need to be placed inside the following folder:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype instead.

Ensure that the font files are visible/accessible by the 'appliance' user. For example:
```
> ls
```
```
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 26060 Sep 5 17:23 Code39AzaleaNarrow1.ttf
```
Install the fonts by running the following command:
```
> fc-cache -f -v
```
Confirm that the fonts are installed by running the following command:
```
fc-list
```
Restart the CCLAS service.

The installed fonts show up in the drop-down list when selecting fonts for rich-text fields, and can be embedded into generated PDF files.
