Title: Fonts changes in Report Studio
Post by: DeeEss on 28 Sep 2016 11:21:35 PM
Hi Gurus,

Client required, the dashboard Title and messages to show in Klavika Regular font. This font doesn't show in the options i have when i am creating the report in Browser using Report option in V11.0.3.
The cognos app server and the CM server are both on Linux- Red Hat

based on cognos existing KBs I have downloaded the klavika fonts on my windows windows/fonts directory.
I have also copied these fonts into cognos install location <install cognos dir>/bin/fonts, i also copied these to <install>/bin64/fonts.
I also added the klavika font to coglocale.xml
but when i try to edit the configuration- physical fonts map- and try to add the new fonts, i see default location as - ../bin/fonts, but i do not find the klavika fonts here.
I also tried adding the entire location like <install>/bin/fonts...but still do not see the klavika fonts. I see 4-5 fonts Anwale WT, Empty, Courier New-PDF. Times_PDF etc, whereas in actual bin/fonts and bin64/fonts there is only andwaleWT.ttf and Empty.ttf

Any idea from where its picking other fonts? Also in my report studio in browser, i see around  20 different fonts, hence i understand its not showing fonts from the server.

Please guide how to go about it. Its top urgent task at my hands as of now.

Cheers
DeeEss

Hi,

On each content manager installation, open Cognos Configuration, and go to Actions -> Edit Global Configuration -> Fonts -> Add.
