Hi everyone,

I’m using Ignition Edge 8.1.47 with Perspective and I’m trying to use a custom font (Open Sans) in an offline environment (no internet access).My questions are:

1. What is the recommended way to load and use custom fonts offline in Ignition Perspective 8.1.x?
2. Is there any difference or limitation when using Ignition Edge compared to full Ignition?
3. Do fonts need to be referenced differently to survive gateway restarts and updates?

If anyone has a working example or best practice for this scenario, I’d really appreciate it.
