  • 1.  Font installation & control

    Posted Fri February 19, 2021 10:16 AM
    I have a query about font installation. PA helpfully has the functionality to 'install fonts' into Workspace and as a large organisation - I attempted loading the various font 'types' including regular, light, bold and all types in between. However, Planning Analytics Workspace only seems to recognise the first it finds from a background list (not by order of the load or anything like that). This means that though there may be several font weights needed for your organisation, we're left with only one (with the options of normal bold, italic, underline).

    Additional to this - is that consistently, though a font has been set, when the word is edited - it displays the font 'choice' as IBM Plex. This is an obvious error that needs corrected, so what are IBM's plans to do so? Can you honestly expect dashboard designers to put up with a half finished control?

    Then, yes ... there's more ... Try changing the colour of the text to one not on the workbooks palette (which by the way - you can't edit once set and the workbook re-opened after a save) .. when it saves again - the text changes to something completely different until a user goes into edit mode and re-selects a text widget to edit - at which point they all go back to the colour intended?

    I'm sure this one isn't a 'design feature' .. but is anyone else really aggravated by the font mechanics and weird re-sizing?
