Custom Fonts in Module

Hi guys,

Is there anyway to add custom fonts to modular areas?

There are custom corporate fonts that I would like to use in my Schematics output, but these fonts don't appear when I am in any modular components.

Cheers

Hi David, can you please explain what you mean by 'add custom fonts to modular areas'.

You can create a corporate theme with whatever fonts are installed on your system via the Modano Options dialog box. As shown below, the Styles panel within this dialog allows you to specify the font settings for each style:

To use a specific corporate font for presentation outputs, you'll want to customize the presentation styles (i.e. those with names starting the 'Presentation ' in the Styles panel of the Options dialog), then make sure that you check the 'Presentation sheet' option within the Insert Sheet dialog, as shown below. This will insert a presentation version of the sheet, on which you use the presentation styles instead of the usual assumptions and outputs styles:

Presentation styles are specifically designed for use when aesthetics is more important than best practice - e.g. in presentation outputs, etc.

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks!.

I did look at the options dialog and tried to add the Custom Corporate Fonts in to the Styles. But in the following two screenshots, you can see that the font NAB Impact (which appears when I am in a non modular section such as a sub section sheet). But it cannot be located in the options dialog.

That's very interesting David, as we recently purchased some non-Windows standard fonts such as Helvetica, and they appear in the Modano dialogs...

I'm guessing that those fonts are proprietary to NAB and they've therefore locked them down so that Modano can't access them...

If you can provide me with the font(s) you've installed, I can get our engineers to try to reproduce this on our development machines with the ambition of picking them up going forward.
