Custom Fonts in Tabular Reporting (Excel)

PythonMCSJ — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 08:02:18 GMT

Hi Qlik Community!

I was wondering if anyone have had success with using custom fonts in Tabular reports (Excel add-in) with PDF as the output format? I have a custom font that is installed and works on my machine - however, when I preview my PDF output report, the font is defaulted to Times New Roman.

I have tried adding the font to the theme used by the app, but unfortunately that did not work.

In Qlik NPrinting, we had control of the servers and could therefore just install fonts where needed - but how should we proceed in Qlik Cloud Reporting Services?

Kind regards,

PythonMCSJ

Hi,

I dont think this is possible given the way this is working where PDF from excel needs to be printerd in Qlik Cloud where that font is not installed.

sorry mate.

Hi,

no, you can't use custom fonts.

Hi Ruggero,

Alright, that is good to know. Perhaps this can be added as a limitation of Qlik Cloud Reporting Services? I was struggling to find any definitive answer anywhere.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I asked to improve the documentation by adding the information about fonts.

Hi Ruggero,

it’s been more than a year since the request to enable custom fonts in Tabular PDF.
Are there any updates on this? Is the feature currently on the roadmap?

Not being able to use custom fonts still feels like a significant limitation.

Best regards,
