Hi everyone, I am wondering if there is a way to put in custom fonts into the Ignition Report module. I added one currently but it only shows up on Ignition side of things like perspective views. ---

The underlying reporting engine doesn't have any way to embed fonts, so this will never be a great experience for end users. I wouldn't bother. ---

Oh really? So there is no way to add custom fonts to the report module? ---

You can _reference_ custom fonts, through some combination of making them available to the gateway and the designer I couldn't tell you the exact specifics of. But basically all that will be saved _into the PDF_ is something like: `Your text` Wherever you are **viewing** the PDF, if you don't have `YourCustomFont` also registered with the OS/your PDF viewer/etc... you'll just fall back to a default silently. So some percentage of your users might see things the way you expect (including you, probably, during testing, since you'll have this font installed locally), and some other percentage will not, especially if you're kicking PDFs outside the walls of your company. Not worth the hassle/risk, IMO. ---

Ok that makes sense, is there anywhere in Ignition documentation that says something about this just so I can reference it to clients? ---

I'm not aware of it being noted down anywhere, and couldn't find anything looking in the manual just now. ---

Ok fair enough I guess I will just let them know and see what happens
