CorasWorks utilizes a product called Chart Director to help maintain charts. Chart Director creates the charts and CorasWorks web parts display them to the user.
In ChartDirector, a font can be identified by specifying the name of the file that contains the font. For example, under the Windows platform, the Arial font is specified as "arial.ttf", while the Arial Bold font is specified as "arialbd.ttf."
ChartDirector also supports several keywords that allow you to identify the fonts indirectly. The actual font file name is looked up from a font table based on the keywords. The keywords are as follows:
• normal – The default normal font, which is the same as the first font in the font table. ChartDirector will draw text using this font unless otherwise specified.
• bold – The default bold font, which is the same as the second font in the font table.
• italic – The default italic font, which is the same as the third font in the font table.
• boldItalic – The default bold-italic font, which is the same as the fourth font in the font table.
The default font table contains four fonts: arial.ttf normal, arialbd.ttf for bold, ariali.ttf for italic and arialbi.ttf for bold and italic. The advantages of using fonts in the font table is that you can define and modify all fonts in your chart in one place.
ChartDirector does not come with any font files. It relies on the operating system's font files in the "%systemroot%\Fonts" directory, where %systemroot% is the operating system installation directory. To see what fonts are installed in your operating system and their file names, use the File Explorer to view that directory.
