Question

Is there any way to include fonts within a WAR distribution such that the JVM can access them? Specifically, I need Arial, and right now, I need to run the following on ALL my servers. This can’t be right.

For Ubuntu:
1.)  sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts

For CentOS:
1.)  As root 'yum install rpm-build cabextract'
2.)  wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
3.)  As root 'rpmbuild -ba msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec'
4.)  As root 'rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm'

Answer 1

Packaging is against the licensing for this product. Find another font, or deal with environment installation.
