How to install Perpetua font on Dynamics 2012

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Andrew R 35

This is now the second occurrence of not having the 'Perpetua' font on a workstation that has Dynamics 2012 and Management Reporter 2012 installed.  On my own workstation that ALSO has 2012 installed I have access to 'Perpetua'.  Previously we used FRx and had Perpetua formatting in one of the rows, now it does not allow the user to even open the row format of the report, nor generate the report.

What is the solution?

    I recommend having the same "Font Folder" among the server and workstations, simply copy it from the server and ensure that it is populated on all workstations.

    The font you mentioned (perpetua) is supposedly installed with the office package. One more thing to consider; aside from this specific font issue, having different fonts among the server and the workstations with Management Reporter may lead to further problems. Further details can be found on the link below;

    I understand what you are suggestion, however, on one workstation (mine) I have access to the Perpetua font, and on two others there is no access to the same font.  I have NOT installed any fonts on my workstation that are in any way different from the other workstations.  I have Office 2010 suite and both workstations have the same.  We do not wish to have to purchase Office suite for the server which we will never use.  The issue is more around how my workstation can open or run the report while other workstations cannot?
