Arial Unicode Font

Can anyone tell me the correct syntax/steps to use so I can add Arial Unicode MS to the list of available fonts in webi?

I know I have to add it into the fontalias.xml but am unsure of the specific syntax, or if i am missing anything else i need to do.

Cheers.

We added Arial Black to fontalias.xml just by copying one of the existing FONT declarations and substituting as needed.

The items we specified were
[list]FONT name=
FONTFAMILY name=
FONTATTRIBUTE logical= , physical=
[/list]

Here is what our entry looks like

  <FONT NAME="Arial Black">
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="ttf" NAME="Arial Black">
      <FONTATTRIBUTE BOLD="false" ITALIC="false" LOGICAL="Arial Black" PHYSICAL="ariblk.ttf;Ariblk.ttf"/>
    </FONTFAMILY>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="win" NAME="Arial Black"/>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="java" NAME="Arial Black, Helvetica, 'Courier New', 'Times New Roman'"/>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="html" NAME="Arial Black, Helvetica, 'Courier New', 'Times New Roman'"/>
   </FONT>

I am copying this from an old internal XI R2 document on adding the same font to our system:


  <FONT NAME="Arial Unicode MS">
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="ttf" NAME="Arial Unicode MS">
      <FONTATTRIBUTE BOLD="false" ITALIC="false" LOGICAL="Arial Unicode MS" PHYSICAL="ARIALUNI.ttf"/>
    </FONTFAMILY>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="win" NAME="Arial Unicode MS"/>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="java" NAME="Arialuni, 'Arial Unicode MS'"/>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="html" NAME="Arialuni, 'Arial Unicode MS'"/>
  </FONT>
