dkeene Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello, all I have installed a font on my server and would like it to appear on unigui controls. They show up on the development system, but not on remote systems. I have enclosed two screen snaps that show the difference. I tried a forum suggestion: MimeTable.AddMimeType('ttf', 'application/font', False); but the results are in the snaps. Can anyone explain how to get fonts that may not be on the remote user computer to show up on unigui controls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, If I understand you correctly, you need include these fonts (CustomFiles...) For example, in this post there is a solution for using google font: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkeene Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thank you Sherzod; does this mean that my font needs to reside on the internet somewhere? what if I wish to use a font that's existing on my server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course, you can place it on your server (for example, in the files folder) and include it in your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkeene Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Can someone please show an example of placing a ttf font file (such as Arial.ttf) and adding the string reference to it in the UniServerModule.CustomFiles i added for example in my win64 debug environment -- c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOlive.ttf c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOliveBold.ttf c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOliveItalic.ttf and on procedure TUniServerModule.UniGUIServerModuleCreat(Sender: TObject); begin MimeTable.AddMimeType('ttf', 'application/Win64/files/fonts/', false); end; what else must I do for custom fonts to appear on remote computers without the font previously installed? thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkeene Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Sorry this did not work. Could you or someone please outline the steps necessary to make a font on a remote machine appear on controls as they appear on the server? I added MimeTable.AddMimeType('ttf', 'application/Win64/Debug/files/fonts/', False); This functionality seems to be fundamental and would be useful. I tried files/FONTS/AntiqueOlive.ttf c:/MyApplication/Win64/Debug/files/FONTS/AntiqueOlive.ttf c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOlive.ttf Can someone please show an example of placing a ttf font file (such as Arial.ttf) and adding the string reference to it in the UniServerModule.CustomFiles i added for example in my win64 debug environment -- c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOlive.ttf c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOliveBold.ttf c:\MyApplication\Win64\Debug\files\FONTS\AntiqueOliveItalic.ttf and on procedure TUniServerModule.UniGUIServerModuleCreat(Sender: TObject); begin MimeTable.AddMimeType('ttf', 'application/Win64/files/fonts/', false); MimeTable.AddMimeType('ttf', 'application/Win64/Debug/files/fonts/', false); end; what else must I do for custom fonts to appear on remote computers without the font previously installed? thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkeene Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 this did not help, unfortunately any other thoughts? is there a step-by-step guide somewhere attached: Snap 8 is program run from a remote machine Snap114 is program run on server. AntiqueOlive font appears on server machine but is interpreted as TImesNewRoman on remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherzod Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 There are examples on the forum, sorry, maybe I do not fully understand your case. For example you can analyze this post: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkeene Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I am just trying to make a webpage that I create with a specific font (antiqueolive.ttf) for example, appear the same on a remote computer that does not yet have that font installed. Is this possible or is there no way to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkeene Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 i don't know what you mean. i see the web page remotely by typing the address of my server at 8077 as usual. The webpage is built by the server that has the font installed, so why wouldn't the web page appear with the same font correctly? as the two screen snaps show, the local computer has the antiqueolive font but the remote computer shows the same page with a times new roman font.

This remember me an old PC with an old google chrome version. Try to update the browser of this remote computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkeene Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thank you Abaksoft, I will try. Unfortunately, my application, which also creates a PDF using the unique font on the server, don't show the unique font in the file. I will update the browser and try another browser like firefox.
