Use the fields in this screen to establish a "catalog" of report fonts that will be available for selection when printing reports from Costpoint web. The fonts that you enable in this screen must first be installed at the Actuate report server .
Four "system" fonts are pre-loaded: Arial, Arial Narrow, Courier New, and Times New Roman. You can enable additional "user" fonts of your choice once they are installed at the Actuate report server.
Set up this screen during initialization, before you are ready to print or view reports.
You must also set up this screen before you assign a default font for each company in the System Settings screen [Administration\Configure\System] and before you attempt to override the default font in the Page Setup dialog at report print/view time.
Are any default fonts automatically available?
The following fonts are automatically provided to the Actuate report server when you install Costpoint web, and cannot be deleted:

How can I add additional fonts?
You can add additional fonts to the Actuate report server outside of Costpoint web by following the Actuate Server Administration installation instructions.
Once the additional fonts are installed, you will add them in this screen to make them available for viewing/reporting.

|
Note: The functionality in this screen is similar to the System Printers application (Administration\Maintain\Printers\System Printers) in that you must first install additional printers to the Actuate server before you make those printers available in Costpoint web. |
Why do some reports ignore the font I have selected?
Some reports (for example, specifically designated government reports such as the DD250) are created by the system to always print using a pre-selected, hard-coded font. In these cases, the font selected in System Settings or specified as an override at report print/view time will be disregarded.
|
|
Note: It is possible that a font available on the Actuate server is not available on your machine (where the browser is located). In this circumstance, the browser cannot display the font, and will use the browser's default font as designated in the Internet Explorer Settings (Internet Explorer\Tools\General\Fonts). |
