Available Fonts for Terminal Applications
The following fonts are pre-installed on PanelViewPlus CE terminals:
• True Type fonts (scalable)
– Tahoma.ttf (proportional)
– Courier.ttf (fixed width)
– Arial.ttf (proportional)
• 23 fonts of various sizes migrated from PanelView Standard and
PanelView e terminals (various sizes)
To simplify the creation and downloading of .mer application files on
these devices, use the above list of fonts when developing screens in
FactoryTalk View Studio software.
Additional fonts are available in FactoryTalk View Studio software
when developing application screens.
• If the font used to develop screens is not available on the target
device, the closest font is selected.
• If bold or italics is used, and a separate bold or italics font is
unavailable, then the target operating system will use an
algorithm to produce these affects.
In either case, the device screens will look different than they do in
FactoryTalk View Studio software.
