Understanding Font Substitutions

Font substitution enables you to select a language and the font that needs to be substituted in report templates. Then you indicate a new font to use for the selected language. This substitution does not include font size. When the font substitution is made, dynamic positioning automatically adjusts the position of items on the report to accommodate the width of the new font. It does not adjust the height of items on the report.

Font substitution is most useful for defining fonts in reports that are intended to be:

• Printed in a foreign language.

• Sent to a line printer.
