6.3 Changing the Report Data Font

Due to limitations of font encoding in PDF files, you might need to specify an alternate report data font. Locales that have multi-byte characters or characters outside the Latin-1 set of characters supported by the default font are especially at risk.

If you know the collected data is limited to a specific locale or language, choose a font that properly displays all characters for that locale or language.

If the collected data might contain characters that span multiple locales or that include both multi-byte and Latin-1 characters, for example, choose an appropriate Unicode Font that can accurately display most characters from the Unicode set and not just a specific locale.

Two Unicode fonts known for having both good Unicode character coverage and good glyph presentation are MS Arial Unicode (a sans-serif font) and CODE2000 (a serif font).

For more information on these fonts and on Unicode fonts in general, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_font.

NOTE:You can change the data font to any font that is available on the server hosting the Web Application.

Headers and parameters in the reports remain in the default Arial font.

To change the report data font:

  1. From the Reports menu, select Report Definitions.

  2. From the Report Branding and Styling drop-down menu, select Report Data Font.

  3. From the Report Data Font Name drop-down menu, select the font you want displayed in the report.

  4. Click Save.
