UNIX considerations
If you install ColdFusion on a UNIX computer you must ensure that the appropriate fonts are installed, even if the
computer provides console access only.For more information on TrueType fonts for UNIX, see
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
.
ColdFusion Report Builder considerations
The ColdFusion Report Builder has no automatic knowledge of fonts available on the server so the developer building
the report definition must consult the ColdFusion MX Administrator to determine which fonts are available on the
server and, if necessary, register fonts in the Administrator or install fonts on the computer that runs Report Builder.
Document page
The Document page allows you to configure OpenOffice application. If you did not configure during installation,
provide the directory path to configure OpenOffice.
Depending on whether your ColdFusion server is installed on a local or remote server, you can configure OpenOffice
with your ColdFusion server instance.
For more information about configuring OpenOffice with ColdFusion, see Configuring OpenOffice in

Java and JVM page
Note:
This page does not apply when deploying ColdFusion on a J2EE server.
The Java and JVM page lets you specify the following settings, which enable ColdFusion to work with Java:
Note:
You must restart ColdFusion after making changes.
When you update the Java and JVM Settings page, ColdFusion writes the changes to jvm.config, which is located in
cf_root\runtime\bin
. Before ColdFusion saves your changes, it saves a copy of the current jvm.config file as jvm.bak.
If your changes prevent ColdFusion from restarting, use jvm.bak to restore your system. For example, rename
jvm.config to jvm.config_BAD, and then rename jvm.bak to jvm.config.
ColdFusion filters out default settings for the jvm.args attribute from the jvm.config file, including the following:
Option
Description
Java Virtual Machine Path
The absolute file path to the location of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) root directory. The default is
cf_root
/runtime/jre.
Minimum JVM Heap Size
The JVM initial heap size.
Maximum JVM Heap Size
The JVM maximum heap size. The default value is 512 MB.
ColdFusion Class Path
The file paths to the directories that contain the JAR files that ColdFusion uses. Specify either the fully
qualified name of a directory that contains your JAR files or a fully qualified JAR filename. Use a comma
to separate multiple entries.
JVM Arguments
The arguments to the JVM. Use a space to separate multiple entries (for example, -Xint -Xincgc).
