Custom Font on Report Server

Hi all,

 

Is it not possible to show custom font such as Open Sans in the dashboard hosted in Report Server > embedded (iframe) to a website?

 

If it's possible, can you kindly point me to the correct material/guidance?

 

Appreciate your kind help, thank you.

While there are tricks you can use to specify custom fonts, they currently only work if the client has the font installed on their machine. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-HuBXB4ahc 

 

 

So it could be made to work in a corporate environment where IT could deploy the font to everyone's workstations, but if you cannot do this these techniques will not work.

We have a same requirement to use custom fonts on Report Server.  We have uploaded the fonts on the Report Server but still it requires client to have the same font installed in the user system. Can the fonts be rendered directly from the server instead of depending on client installed fonts.

Do you mean chaging fonts within the report rendered as per the custom folnts applied to the website? There is no change we can do to the report rendered, Only changes available are in Brand packages which affect the report server mainly and not the report itself. The fonts would need o be applied to report at dev stage in Desktop like in teh video d_gosbell mentioned!
