Description
This article explains how to upload a new font style file to use it in FortiAnalyzer report layouts
Solution
In order to use a font style not included by default in the FortiAnalyzer firmware image, it is necessary to upload the .ttf file for the font to the FortiAnalyzer by CLI.

For example for the arialicHollow font style file (ArialicHollow.ttf), we need to upload the file by TFTP to the FortiAnalyzer by running the command:

# execute sql-report import-font <service> <IP server_ x.x.x.x> <username> <password> <file-name>

# execute sql-report import-font ftp 192.168.157.99 tacfortinet1 ihtdVf43M ArialicHollow.ttf 
Do you want to continue? (y/n)y 

Connect to ftp server 192.168.157.99 to get ArialicHollow.ttf... 

To confirm that the font file was imported successfully, you can list the font files:

# execute sql-report list-fonts

After that, we can now select the new font style when configuring FortiAnalyzer report layout.

For more details, see the FortiAnalyzer CLI Reference corresponding to your release of FortiAnalyzer.
