Hello, all. I hope this is the correct place for this question. I am developing the branding for the calibration business, and I wonder if it is possible to add our preferred fonts for use in the reporting tool. I found the folder where they live, but I can't seem to find a way to add new ones. Apologies if this has been asked, but I didn't find it while searching or in the guide.

Very tangentially related, do you prefer/request that we cite Light Illusion/ColourSpace and their logos in our reporting? If not required, do you allow it? Seems like a potential differentiator.

Thanks in advance,
James Paynter

Hi James.
Short answer is no, longer answer is maybe.

The tool lets you select from the always available fonts, and the Liberation unicode fonts we have added.
If you look in the bin directory you will see it's not just the ttf, but there are other files which are necessary to embed the font into the PDF.

We could let you select any system font available, but without embedding it there is no guarantee it would render correctly on a different machine.

Message me privately on here and I might be able to generate the additional meta data required. If so, a quick fix would be to replace say the LiberationMono font or one you don't use with your font. Later on we could scan for additional fonts in this directory and add them to the gui. It's really up to Steve to decide if the software development can happen, we have a lot of conflicting priorities!

I'll let Steve answer the second question.
Best,
Mike

As for the second question, no there are such requirements at all.
Feel free to use/not use our provided logo and/or company name.
