Dundas BI Custom fonts

#1

Hi Everyone,


By default Dundas provides handful of fonts that can be used while designing dashboard.


I have visited article in Dundas BI webpage for adding custom fonts and font effects. For reference i have provided the link below:

http://www.dundas.com/support/support-center/support-articles/designing/adding-custom-fonts-and-font-effects


The challenge what i am facing is the font which i want to use is in the format *.otf

That particular font in not available in https://www.google.com/fonts


I have imported that font in the Dundas BI server.

How can i use that font in Dundas BI?


Thanks

Have you looked at this http://www.dundas.com/support/support-center/support-articles/designing/using-custom-fonts-in-controls?


I have followed that page for ttf fonts that are on my server.

Thank you David it worked,


Quick walkthrough if someone else need the same help.


Locate style.override.css file


Default location as below

C:\Program Files\Dundas Data Visualization Inc\Dundas BI\Instances\Instance1\www\BIWebsite\Content\Override

Change the font family to name of the font and in src add the location of the *.otf file.

Open the dundas BI in font family if the font name is not listed just enter the font-family name, in my example it is GraublauWeb


@font-face {
    font-family: GraublauWeb;
    src: url("path/GraublauWeb.otf") format("opentype");
}

@font-face {

font-family: GraublauWeb;

font-weight: bold;

src: url(“path/GraublauWebBold.otf”) format(“opentype”);

}

Hi Utsav,


there's a simple way to do this directly on a dashboard, too:
Go to https://google.fonts.com and grab the embedding code there, for example
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat" rel="stylesheet">


Put this into the text of a html label on your dashboard, then make it invisible or place it outside the dashboard.

Now, you can type in the name of the font (here: Montserrat) into the font type field and use it for any text.
(Note, that the font won't be listed in the list of available fonts, but you can type it in and use it)

Kind regards,

Thom

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for reply.

The issue is the server on which Dundas BI is installed, it does not have internet access and IT team denied to white list https://google.fonts.com.

So we need to paste .font file in server folder and need to call that from .CSS, even with that some times few fonts are not recognised.
