Using the WebLogic Console with Exceed

When viewing the WebLogic Console with Exceed, you may find that the font sizes are too big or too small, or that the OK and Cancel buttons on some dialogs boxes do not appear because the dialog box is not big enough. If so, you can remedy this by importing some font aliases into your Exceed font database.

Before you begin, you will need to determine whether you have 75dpi or 100dpi fonts installed for your Exceed installation by doing the following:

Choose Configuration from the Exceed toolbar.
Double-click on font.
Click on Font Database. You will see a list of the font databases you have installed. The ones in use are displayed with K or L under status (for Keep or Load). Any fonts marked I are Inactive.
If you already have a 75dpi or 100 dpi font alias available, you can skip to the last section, Installing the font database.

Creating a font alias

If you have neither the 75dpi nor the 100dpi font aliases installed, you will need to create one. WebLogic recommends using the 75dpi font database for the best WebLogic Console visual experience.

To create a 75dpi font alias, create a text file containing the following code and save it as WebLogicConsole75dpi.ali.

#  Font aliases for the WebLogic Console using 75dpi fonts

+$75dpi

"-linotype-helvetica-bold-r-normal-sans-*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" helvb14
"-b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" lurs12

Copy the alias file into your ExceedHome\user directory.

To create a 100dpi font alias, create a text file containing the following code and save it as WebLogicConsole100dpi.ali

#  Font aliases for the WebLogic Console using 100dpi fonts

+$100dpi

"-linotype-helvetica-bold-r-normal-sans-*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" helvb10
"-linotype-helvetica-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" helvr10
"-b&h-lucida sans-bold-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" lubs10
"-b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" lurs10

Copy the alias file into your ExceedHome\user directory.

Installing the font database

Once you have a 75dpi or 100dpi font alias installed in your ExceedHome\user directory, you will need to install it for use with Exceed.

To install a font database:

Choose Configuration from the Exceed toolbar.
Double-click on font.
Click on Import Alias.
Browse the file dialog until you find the WebLogicConsoleXXXdpi.ali file you previously copied, or another font alias file.
Click Import.
Restart Exceed.
