Note:
|
The font file will not be updated.
The change will affect the display forms only. It will not change the font of output reports.
After the update of a font, the controls in the current form and subforms will be refreshed and any usage of this font will be changed.
-
Parent programs, child tasks, parallel programs, and phantom tasks will not be refreshed; so they might be seen with the old font (and might be changed later on due to internal settings).
-
When changing the font, it might affect the appearance of the control, such as the height of a combo box.
The form font will not be changed. When replacing the form font, the font size will remain as-is. The new font will be used after re-entering the program.
This is a client-side function that is available for Online and Rich Client tasks. If executed in a RIA Batch task, no change will be seen on the client side.

Exceptions:
|
This function is not supported in Web Client tasks.
