About Font Management
ColdFusion can create documents and reports in both PDF and FlashPaper format. Both of these formats require that
the server computer have access to the fonts used in the HTML styles (cfdocument tag) or the report definition
(ColdFusion Report Builder). ColdFusion requires access to these fonts to properly render text in PDF and FlashPaper
documents and, when specified, to embed fonts into a PDF file.
