    Application Items have no UI, so what would be the point of associating them with a specific font?

    @fac586

    Sometimes we need to display text in a specific font like in my case (Arabic font,barcode Font)

  • 10besemkhan OP 3.7 years ago

    Would be useful in case of Arabic

    QR code will be good

    Awais, could you think of a use-case for this type of feature? How do you see it working on an APEX page, exactly? Can you mock up a screen shot perhaps?

    Dear Jayson,

    Sorry for not mentioning full detail in my idea.
    Sometine based on the user requirement we need to display data in specific text font. For this, I need to specify CSS for the Bold, Italic, and font family.

    It will be helpful if we give the option to add style(Bold, Italic, etc) and select font.

  • haseeb.tnr OP 3.7 years ago

    YES REQUIRED

  • abrarji OP 3.7 years ago

    Awais, thanks for elaborating on your idea. I'm not sure as to the feasibility of this, but we'll review it again.

    Already available through Text Style modifier classes.

    and select font

    For various reasons—unknown availability of fonts on user devices; web font file locations and licensing; CSS font syntax; need to specify default families etc—such a feature cannot be implemented in the manner shown using a Word-style font list.

    I would expect something more like the UT Button Builder, with the ability to specify @font-face rules, select font properties, and see a dynamic sample. This would generate CSS rules associated with a class name. These could then be pasted into the Theme Roller or CSS files.

    In addition to (or instead of) this, I'd like to have the ability to set font properties in the various component settings exposed in the Theme Roller.
