Use a custom font in reports
Introduction
This page describes how to set a custom font, so that your company’s style guide is applied used in the reports, or to support different language scripts (like arabic, chinese, etc.)
CXO uses two variants of proprietary CXO-Barlow font
Tabular, which is used to show vertically stacked numbers such that the digits of numbers are always aligned,
Regular, which is used in all other cases
Without any extra configuration, these variants are used in the reports. However, they can be replaced using the Configurator > Settings tab.
Replacing default fonts
For replacing each of the two variants of CXO-Barlow, there are two settings in the Configurator:
Name: name of the custom font
Use only the following characters in the name: alphanumeric, underscore, space, and hyphen
File URI: remote path or a local path to a font file (supported font file types are: ttf, woff, woff2, otf)
By default these settings are empty, which means that the CXO-Barlow font variants will be used in the reports.
After saving the new settings, in order for the new fonts to be loaded, go to the Maintenance tab and restart CXO-Cockpit ISS application pool.
Using browser-embedded font
To use one of the standard fonts which your browser supports (for example, Verdana), just set the custom font name in the Configurator > Settings tab.
For example, these settings would replace the regular CXO Barlow font with Verdana. The tabular CXO-Barlow font would still be used for the vertically stacked numbers (like they are in the table).
Please note that in V6, Arial was used as the default font.
Using a custom font-file
To use a custom font file, set the custom font name and custom font URL in the Configurator > Settings tab.
For example, these settings would replace both the regular and tabular CXO Barlow font with a font that supports Arabic-script (Lemonada).
The URI settings work also with local paths (given that the font files are available somewhere on the CXO application server).
