Hi,

I don't know the correct answer for this issue but QlikView Access Point used by browser is like a web page: if you build a web page with a font that is not installed in client's browser, it will no viewed.

In web developing there would be a way: modify the css, but I think it's not a good idea on QlikView.

It depends on which client you are using (IE Plugin = install font on all client machines, Ajax = multiple solutions) and how you specify the source of new font. Note that a new font will not all of a sudden infect all objects in your document. You'll have to do some customisations in the Properties->Fonts tab of the objects you want to change

For example, every element on a document sheet in the AP can use a different font. In the Ajax client, you can specify the location of that particular (new) font as being available from a font repository (e.g. Google web fonts), from the Ajax Point web server (need to install fonts in a specific format on the QVWS platform) or installed on the client machine (again, you'll need to install the fonts on all client platforms first).

Now, I don't know how well versed you are in these technical web site matters, but for me at least this was tricky stuff that stubbornly refused to work from the start. To avoid this, you may want to read up on custom fonts in these useful articles:

  //Load a CSS style sheet

  Qva.LoadCSS("http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto Condensed");

  });

and installed the font in server.

but its not changing in client machine

For an extension to be loaded together with a specific document, you must list it as required in the document properties in QV Desktop (see Settings->Document Properties->Extensions). Did you do that?

Peter

PS. I'm not really familiar with your particular document extension, as I did all the font work directly in CSS and HTML in the AccessPoint pages. I guess that using the document extension should make configuration a lot simpler.

[arulsettu]

Yes in Document Properties i added the Extension. even not changing.

you said that your work directly in CSS and HTML in the AccessPoint pages. it will change font for current app or all apps?

Thanks
