Use this page to review and define fonts for use with ColdFusion FlashPaper and PDF output formats. ColdFusion generates FlashPaper and PDF outputs through the cfdocument tag, through the cfreport tag, or when directly invoking a Report Builder CFR file.

 

ColdFusion automatically registers Acrobat built-in fonts and fonts located in typical font locations (such as the Windows\fonts directory).
