Changing the default browser font

About this task

Some languages require the use of special fonts to properly display the Sterling B2B Integrator user interface. The client computer must be configured to display these types of fonts. Each Windows client must be configured appropriately.

Note: The instructions for configuring a browser’s display will differ for each browser. Refer to your chosen browser’s documentation for specific instructions on configuring that browser’s display.

  2. Open an IE browser window.
  3. Select Tools > Internet Options.
  4. At the bottom of the window under Appearance, click Fonts.
  5. From the Language Script drop-down menu, change the Latin based value to the appropriate script for your needed language.
