Rotated text might be displayed incorrectly in output produced by ODS Graphics. This problem is most likely to occur when you use one of the following double-byte character set (DBCS) fonts with OpenJDK: MingLiu, HeiT, MS PGothic, MS PMincho, Batang, or Gulim. These DBCS fonts are used in the Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese environments (JA, KO, TW locales). The problem is caused by a bug in OpenJDK, which does not support the fonts in a vertical display.

To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:

• Download the Oracle JRE from the Oracle website and set it as the default JRE for SAS^® Viya sessions.


• Register the Noto monospace CCJK fonts. Below are the instructions for how to register the Noto monospace CCJK fonts:
  1. Download the fonts from the following website:
     
     https://www.google.com/get/noto/
     For Japanese, download: Noto Sans CJK JP
     For Korean, download: Noto Sans CJK KR
     For Traditional Chinese, download: Noto Sans CJK TC
     
     
     
  2. Follow the installation steps on the following website:
     
     https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/install/
  
  
  3. Update the font registry based on the locale.

     For the ja_JP locale:

     Note: Japanese customers can also use the "Arial Unicode MS" font. In this case, you do not need to download the "Noto Sans CJK JP" fonts.

     Use Notepad or your preferred text editor to create a file called fonts_ja.sasxreg on the C: drive, and then copy and paste the following information into this file:

     #--- File updated at 01AUG2016 04:23:09 
     #--- Exporting SASHELP registry starting at key [ods\fonts\ja_JP] 
     
     [ODS] 
     
     [ODS\FONTS]
     
     [ODS\FONTS\ja_JP]
     "corporate-sans-serif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "corporate-sans-serif-bold"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "dings"="Wingdings"
     "monospace"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "MTdings"="Monotype Sorts"
     "MTmonospace"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "MTsans-serif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "MTsans-serif-unicode"="Arial Unicode MS"
     "MTserif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "MTserif-unicode"="Times New Roman Uni"

     "sans-serif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular"
     "serif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular" 
     "symbol"="Symbol"
     

     After the above code has been saved in your fonts_ja_sasxreg file, submit the following code in SAS to change the session registry:

     proc registry
        import='c:\fonts_ja.sasxreg';
     run;
     quit;
     

     C:\fonts_ja.sasxreg is the name of the file that you created in Notepad.

     
     

     For the ko_KR locale:

     Use Notepad or your preferred text editor to create a file called fonts_ko.sasxreg on the C: drive, and then copy and paste the following information into this file:

     #--- File updated at 01AUG2016 04:23:42
     #--- Exporting SASHELP registry starting at key [ods\fonts\ko_KR]
     
     [ODS]

     "MTserif-unicode"="Times New Roman Uni"
     "MTsymbol"="Symbol MT"
     "sans-serif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK KR Regular"
     "serif"="Noto Sans Mono CJK KR Regular"
     "symbol"="Symbol"
     

     After the above code has been saved in your fonts_ko_sasxreg file, submit the following code in SAS to change the session registry:

     proc registry
        import='c:\fonts_ko.sasxreg';
     run; 
     quit;
     

     C:\fonts_ko.sasxreg is the name of the file that you created in Notepad.

     
     

     For the zh_TW locale:

     Use Notepad or your preferred text editor to create a file called fonts_tw.sasxreg on the C: drive, and then copy and paste the following information into this file:

     #--- File updated at 01AUG2016 04:24:04
     #--- Exporting SASHELP registry starting at key [ods\fonts\zh_TW]
     
     [ODS]

     "symbol"="Symbol"
     

     After the above code has been saved in your fonts_tw_sasxreg file, submit the following code in SAS to change the session registry:

     proc registry
        import='c:\fonts_tw.sasxreg';
