Default Font in BO 4.1?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have recently upgraded from BO 3.1 to BO 4.1.

Now the issue we are facing is that the reports that have been migrated from the Old version to the new version had the Palatino Linotype font, and after migration they have been changed to Arial.

I wanted to know if there is anyway we could have the Palatino Linotype font in the new reports.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jasmine.

Jasmine,

     You will need to add the Font to the Windows OS and also customize the BI 4.1 Platform, see link below showing step-by-step.

Hi Ajay/Srinivasa/Denis,

Thanks a lot for all your help.

We are still in the process of upgrading the Environment. When we are at the phase of testing the reports, we will follow the steps to add the custom fonts and will let you know how it turns out.

Until then, thanks for the helpful posts. Just wanted to be prepared in advance.

Thanks,

Jasmine.

Hello Jasmine,

I'm not sure if this can help or even if it fits with your needs, but using RESTful API, you can browse available fonts on the server.

Best regards,

Palatino Linotype font is not default in XI3.1 either - it was installed by your IT/Administrator. So the same process needs to be done on BI4.1

Thanks.

Do you have any idea how to add custom fonts to BO 4.1.

I can't find Palatino Linotype in 4.1

I'm searching for the forum that had this discussion, I know it's there somewhere. But I'm not able to locate it now.
