Specify the Report Font

You can specify the font for text in a report.

Steps

1. Click the object.

   Tip: To specify the default font for the report, click the page.

2. Do one of the following:

   • From the toolbar, specify the font properties.

   • In the Properties pane, double-click the Font property and specify the font properties.

     Tip: Type a list of fonts in the Family box if you are not sure whether a specific font is installed on a user's computer. For example, if you type Times New Roman, Arial, monospace, Report Studio checks to see if Times New Roman is installed. If it is not, Report Studio checks for Arial. If Arial is not installed, the monospace font used by the computer is used.

If you clicked (Default) for any of the font properties, the default value for the property is used. Default values are stored in a style sheet that is used across all IBM Cognos 8 tools. You can modify default values by modifying classes .
