FAQ 1006: When a user changes the font for reports does that change globally for all users or just that user?

Problem: When a user changes the font for reports does that change globally for all users or just that user? If just that user, how do you change the default fonts at a global level

Solution: When a user changes the font through File-Font Setup it only makes that change for the user. If writes a statement like FontName=Times New Roman in a file that is unique to that user where their other settings are written. If you want to make a global change, then edit the ASC.INI file in the ASC directory on the server and add a statement in the [ASC] section like FontName=Arial. This will become the default setting globally unless a user has something different in their user settings file.
