Modify the font for a language

The default font for all languages is Arial. You can only set the font for a language at the time you add it. To change the font setting for a previously configured language, you must first delete it and then re-add it as described in Add a language to a Galaxy.

You cannot edit the font for the default language. To change the font for the default language:

1. Set a different language as the default.

2. Delete the language for which you want to change the font.

3. Add back the language and set the font.

4. Set the language you just added as the default.

The configured font for a language is used in design time when a specific translation is supplied for a language. It is also propagated to all translations for secondary languages when the fonts are not specifically overridden by you.

For example, if you create a text element and provide translation for the secondary language without modifying the font, the text is shown using the font from the Galaxy. However, if you manually modify the font, then the text will always use the chosen font. This same behavior also applies to runtime.

For an Industrial graphic to show the updated font from the Galaxy in an InTouch ViewApp, WindowViewer must be restarted. No notification is provided to WindowViewer when the Galaxy font changes.

All managed InTouch applications are updated to use the new font for the selected language.
