Hi,

how can I adjust Board to use font Arial instead of Open Sans by default?

Thanks Maik

    From Board 14, you are able to set the default font for a specific capsule by navigating through "Capsule properties" - "Default capsule font".

    But I don't think you have that option for any version before that. For those previous versions, you can either

    • go to "system administration" - "appearance" to upload a corporate font for the whole system

    or

    • utilize mask / template / object copy&paste to do an object level font control

      Hope this helps.

    Hi Shisong, Thanks for your reply.

    In the masks setup you can not do it unfortunately. What a pity that it comes only with the upgrade. But maybe someone else has another idea.

    Hi @Maik Burghardt ,

    not sure if you have read over the hint from Shisong or if it´s not applicable to your case but the corporate font feature is available also for older versions (I think it was introduced in 10.6).

    All objects which use a default font will make use of the uploaded font family.

    @Bernhard Nöhreiter I have seen it but what should I upload when Arial is already available.

    Board is setup by default with Open Sans how can I change it to Arial, which is available in Board?
