Hi Guys,

 

Can anyone help with my issue please?

 

I am using FusionPro Desktop 7.2 to create my VDP that I then upload to our EFI Digital Store Front & FusionPro Server (which is hosted by EFI not us).

 

I am having some issues with fonts. I have some rules created for business cards so that the 'P' for phone is in a particular font and the following text and field (s) are in another font. When I compose locally, everything is fine, when I upload the collected file to DSF and try to generate online, the fonts are not correct (the 'P' at the start of the line, the '+61' and the fields are all in Arial - which is the second font that I have chosen in my rules)

 

Here is the rule:

 

if (Field("Phone") != "" && Field("Ext") != "")

{

return ('<f name="Router-Medium">P</f><t>') + ('<f name="Arial">+61 ' + Field("Phone") + ('<f name="Arial"> ext ' + Field("Ext")));

}

if (Field("Phone") != "" && Field("Ext") == "")

{

return ('<f name="Router-Medium">P</f><t>') + ('<f name="Arial">+61 ' + Field("Phone"));

}

else

return "";

 

 

I am confused as I have used the font Router-Medium in another rule for another card layout and everything has been fine both locally and uploaded to our server.

 

Are there any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I can diagnose the problem here on the forum. But you probably just need to set some other text in the template, in the Variable Text Editor (not just in a rule), to the Router-Medium font, so that the font gets collected up with the job in Assets.dat for use on the remote composition machine. You can create a Formatted Text Resource with a single letter in that font, so that the extra text doesn't show up in the output.

I have had this problem in the past and our original solution was to type some static text in white on a a white background on the template to force the font to be collected for use in rules. Later we realized we could just create a (unused) text resource using that font and that would work as well.
