Embedding custom fonts [Custom fonts available via web start?]

swallace · January 20, 2012 11:01AM

Hi there

I've created a dashboard using a font that isn't bundled with Omniscope, and when it's accessed via web start the font settings disappear. Please could someone advise how to rectify this? Does the dashboard need to be deployed via Commercial Publisher to maintain the 'new' font?

Thanks

Scott.

Omniscope doesn't allow you to ship custom fonts together with files.

If you wish to use fonts that isn't available to Omniscope, then the custom font must be available on the target machine. For more information see:

Hi Mustafa

Thanks for the info. Are there any plans to change this as having to get all users to install various fonts locally isn't very practical? Is there any way the font could be embedded in the iok or JAR file?

Thanks

Scott.

We'll look at this subject to demand. I've reclassified this as an idea; please vote. Note that redistributing fonts may not be permitted for copyright reasons.

This is a very good suggestion and would be ideal for the reporting we do for our clients
