Configuring Named Fonts allows you to create new fonts for OnBase based upon the fonts installed on your workstation. These fonts can be assigned to Document Types and Note Types.
Named fonts are useful for languages like Japanese and Thai.
After creating the Named Font, you can use the font to display and print within the system. After a document has been imported or processed into OnBase, you can view how the font will display on the Document Type.
Using a Named Font with an overlay ensures that everyone is using the same font for the Document Type to which the Named Font and Overlay are assigned.

Font Setting
Description
Font
Determines the font used to display text. The choices available are limited to the fonts currently installed on the workstation.
Note:The text viewer only displays monospace fonts, so that column-based operations can be performed. If the font is not monospace, it will be changed to the closest monospace font.
Note:Microsoft has the authority to change how fonts render. As a result, text documents in OnBase may display differently when upgrading to a new version of Windows. For example, if Microsoft implements a background change to the Courier New font in its latest operating system, it may affect existing overlays configured on a previous operating system.
Font Style
Determines the style applied to the font. The selections available are dependent on the font selected.
Size
Determines the point size of the font.
Script
Determines the language the font will appear in.
Note:If your workstation locale is set to Romanian, you will need to set this option to Eastern European. By default, the Script is set to Western European- if this setting is not changed, some special characters will not be displayed properly. If your workstation locale is set to Turkish, you will need to set this option to Turkish. By default, the Script is set to Western European- if this setting is not changed, some special characters will not be displayed properly.
The Sample box will show you what the combination of font choice, style, and size will look like as a finished result.
