Installing the new fonts in BI Publisher
1. Locate the JRE for BI Publisher (JAVA_HOME/lib). This can be done by going to Tools -> Options, then click the preview tab.
xdo.cfg

<!--Font substitute setting (for PDFForm filling etc...) -->
<font-substitute name="MSGothic">
<truetype path="/fonts/msgothic.ttc" ttcno="0"/>
</font-substitute>
</fonts>
</config>
3. Configure the xdodebug.cfg. This is the standard debug configuration file for BI Publisher. xdodebug.cfg allows you to set the BI Publisher debugging level and to specify the directory where the log file should be written.
This is an example of what should be in the xdodebug.cfg
LogLevel=STATEMENT
LogDir=c:\tmp
If you would like to know more about xdodebug.cfg file it’s available in the Oracle BI Publisher documentation or see the following metalink Note:364547.1. Also, the following posts are good:

Troubleshooting the font setup
Step 1: When you run your template and you export to rtf, the specified font should show up correctly. If the font does not show up correctly it's because of the following issues:
A. You may need to do barcode implementation
B. The font is not configured *Most likely the issue
Step 2: Run the template again, but select the output format for PDF. If the barcode font does not show up it could be caused by the followings issues:
A. Verify the font is the fonts directory under the JAVA_HOME/lib/fonts
B. Verify the path is correct. I always use the absolute path to the font.
Example: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\fonts\B39R00.ttf
C. Verify the font is being found by BI Publisher. In the example above for the xdodebug.cfg we set the log directory to C:\tmp. Navigate to the tmp directory and open the xdo.log file. Locate any errors that might be present.
Example error:
[072909_090808562][oracle.apps.xdo.common.font.FontFactory$FontDef][ERROR] Failed to open TrueType font: /fonts/B39R00.ttf(0)
Example fix:
[072909_091211224][oracle.apps.xdo.common.font.FontFactory$FontDef][STATEMENT] TrueType font created: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\fonts\B39R00.ttf(0)
