Hi,

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).

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

Disclaimer: this may not work for all fonts (especially custom, licensed font packages). I will be using the popular Poppins font as an example, but I believe the process will be similar if not the same for other font fam…
