Default fonts are specified for you, but if you want to customize the appearance of your reports, you can change the fonts used for various text entities. If you want to change the fonts that are used in the generated documentation, launch the Documentation Generation wizard and click Next until you have the Layout Settings page.

About this task

To change the fonts used in the generated generate documentation, follow these instructions:

Procedure

  1. Select the Overwrite Default Fonts check box. The Fonts button will be enabled.
  2. Click Fonts and the Documentation Style Settings page opens. Change fonts as required. If the font you want to use is not available, continue to step 3 to add a new font.
  3. Click Manage fonts and the Manage Documentation Fonts window opens. Use the buttons to add fonts to the list or remove them from the list.
  4. Click the Add button. The Add Documentation Font window opens.
  5. Click Browse to get the Open window and locate the .ttf or .ttc file and select it.
    Note: (Windows only) If you want to select fonts from the Windows directory, for example, WINNT or WINDOWS, you must retype the name of the .ttf or .ttc file in the Open window. By default, if you double-click the file in the WINNT directory, Windows opens the TTF or TTC file instead of selecting it, so to make a selection, you need to type the name. To use the mouse for this selection, copy the TTF or TTC file to another directory. Then, you will be able to use the mouse to click and select the font file.

    If a TTC file is selected, a valid font name must be entered.

    Select Create CID-keyed font metrics for fonts with large character sets, such as for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language fonts.

  6. Click OK in the Documentation Font window to complete the selection. You should see the new font in the Manage Documentation Fonts window.
    Note: In the Documentation Generation wizard, names of registered fonts, including double-byte character set font names, are displayed only in Latin letters.
  7. Click OK to go back to the Documentation Style Settings page where you can now select the new font for the listed types of text.

Results

The new font is now registered, which makes it available for all subsequent documentation generations. Default fonts cannot be removed.
