I am trying to use the font Courier Bold as it matches a customers existing document, and it seems that when the report module hosts the report at the URL created by the Report Viewer it loses any of the font details.

The gateway is on linux, I know sometimes linux + fonts can be tricky with Ignition, but not sure why they would reflect on the report module in my designer but not Perspective?

In the report module preview tab:

In the report viewer as well as “opened in a new tab”:

The designer is generating your report locally, for performance. The gateway probably does just need the font installed.
