How to restore Hyperion Financial Reports formatting using xdo.cfg

After an upgrade and migration of Hyperion Financial reports from an older to a later version, the reports may lose requisite format characteristics such as bold and italics. A quick way to restore such formatting is editing xdo.cfg to include Arial fonts in a few steps:

• Copy C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial to E:\Oracle\Middleware \jdk160_35\jre\lib\fonts
• Save a copy of xdo.cfg in E:\Oracle\Middleware \user_projects\epmsystem1\FinancialReporting\lib\FOProcessor\xdo.cfg
• Edit xdo.cfg to include Arial fonts:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

<config version=”1.0.0″ xmlns=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/”>

<properties>
