title: Arial font required in PDF (BIRT pdf renderer, Linux)
body: <p>I've created a rptdesign file using BIRT IDE. This file contents are in Arial font, when I export the report to PDF in windows it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I uses the default viewerServlet to create reports. But when I moved the report to a linux system, all contents in the report was displayed in Times New Roman font instead of Arial in th PDF file.</p>
  
  <p>Then I copied the Arial.ttf file to /var/font/truetype and added the following line to platform/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts_2.3.2.r232_20090202/fontsConfig.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;font-paths&gt;
          ---------------
          ---------------
          ---------------
          &lt;path path="/var/font/truetype" /&gt;
      &lt;/font-paths&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After adding this line all contents are coming in Arial font, but the contents which are bold appears to compressed and look very ugly.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone faced this problem and has any solution?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you
  Regards,
  Arun</p>
