Fonts
The Fonts tool is a Cockpit application that provides a central location for uploading, configuring, and managing custom font files that can be applied across your system, including in the PDF Designer and the UI5 Theme Generator.
Overview
Custom fonts allow you to apply your organization’s typography in generated PDF documents and in UI themes. The Fonts tool manages the complete lifecycle of a font: upload, style assignment, validation, packaging, and deployment.
Font styles
The Font Styles tab is where individual font files are uploaded and assigned to the required style slots for each consuming tool. The required styles differ depending on the target tool.
Uploading Font Files
Font files can be added to a font entry using the Add dialog or by dragging and dropping files directly into the upload area from your local file system.
The PDF Designer requires font files in .ttf or .otf format.
The UI5 Theme Generator requires .woff2 files.
If your fonts are packaged in a ZIP archive, extract the archive before uploading,
as the Fonts tool accepts individual font files only.
