BC14: Are printer fonts accessible?

michael.vogel@agiles.net

Hi!

We updated a customer from classic client to BC14. In the past the customer used "Prescribe" commands for their Kyocera printer to select the output tray of the sorter. These "Prescribe" commands have to be formatted in a printer font with the name "Prescribe". This printer font isn't available in the report builder. But it is availiable inside of word when a specific option is selected to use printer fonts.

So the question is if there is any possibility to use printer fonts in Navision/BC at all - or only TrueType/OpenType fonts. I searched this forum and found some partially but not totally related topics.

Are you developing in a docker container? If so, you can install fonts into that container with navcontainerhelper powershell:

Add-FontsToNavContainer <container> -path <whatever>\micr1.ttf

This isn't a docker environment. But the thing with printer fonts like "Prescribe" is that they are provided by the printer driver, they are not font files like TrueType or OpenType fonts that can be installed manually.
