Documentserver: how to set default font family for fonts not found in document server

[renothing]

I installed document server 4.0.0 and I added many chinese fonts, it works well. but there is few docs used uncommon fonts which is not available in document server. how ever when I selected them and set font by manually. it will display correctly. look at the following pics:

before I select and set font

after set font manually

so, my question is, is there a way to set default font family for unknown characters ?

[K0R0L]

No, we do not select the font for symbols. Recruitment is solely on the exposed font. Those. for example if a font was specified with the support of Chinese characters - to pick up the same. We will think about how to solve this problem. The whole point in time text jumps. If you do the selection by symbols - the input may become unresponsive.

[renothing]

yes, it's a problems. so the really problem is how to detect the language which symbols used.
you can have a try
make a new doc by openoffice with a linux only font(which is unavailable in windows), and then open it by office on windows. you will found it works fine still. because ms office choosed similar replace font for it.

How to install chinese fonts in DocumentServer 4.0 ??
@renothing

[trofim24]

solution in #7 ?

[lonstanley]

can not find the file: /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/Tools/GenerateAllFonts.sh in DocumentServer, but /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/server/tools/AllFontsGen

i put tff font to /usr/share/fonts/directory and run AllFontsGen, but it doesn`t work

[ShockwaveNN]

@lonstanley you should run not AllFontsGen directly, but by sh file
bash /usr/bin/documentserver-generate-allfonts.sh

[goodwinfame]

I added fonts in /usr/share/fonts/, then run documentserver-generate-allfonts.sh, the docs displayed correct, but I can't change the font to which I added, the added fonts are not in the font list.

@renothing 问一下，你的中文乱码解决了么？

[renothing]

@bdxing 默认乱码没办法。其他ok。参考上面说的办法。

[bdxing]

@renothing 我按照上面方法把字体库放到系统里后，运行shell文件后，我再做成镜像后，运行这个镜像，浏览器里，打开文档的时候，页面上提示无法转换，你有没有遇到呢

[goodwinfame]

@bdxing 贴一个解决办法@eqmo的解决办法
首先将.ttf字体放入fonts文件夹
然后：
cd /usr/share/fonts/
tar cv * | docker exec -i XXX tar x -C /usr/share/fonts/
docker exec XXX /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/Tools/GenerateAllFonts.sh
XXX是容器id

然后重启容器，清理浏览器缓存就好了，另外服务完全重启需要几分钟时间，如果重启不成功会出现打开文档报错，或者无法打开等问题。可以重新重启容器。

[bdxing]

@swim1986 我这边的问题是：当前我在容器里都以经把字体都调好了，但我把这个容器再保存成镜像后，启动这个镜像后，刷新浏览器后，上面就提示无法转换，不知道为什么。

[libardoram]

The new version the command after copy the fonts is different:
Run this command against the document server container ID XXXX

docker exec XXXXXX /usr/bin/documentserver-generate-allfonts.sh

[renothing]

@bdxing the conversion working as sign thread, so there is some docs conversion faild always. you just need try again

How can I intergrate the Chinese Fonts to OnlyOffice on Windows Server?

[JohnPerkin]

Please follow this instruction.

1. Copy the font to 'C:\Windows\Font' (to the computer with Document Server installed).
2. Open the folder 'C:\Program Files\ONLYOFFICE\DocumentServer\bin\' and run 'documentserver-generate-allfonts.bat'.
   It will scan the system font folder for the installed font. The font will be used by the AllFonts.js script to form the font thumbnails in the editors and add the font metrics to the font_selection.bin file for its further usage.
3. Find in Task Manager 'ONLYOFFICE Converter Service' and restart it.
4. Clear the browser cache and reopen the page.

[JohnPerkin]

Dear ONLYOFFICE users!
We are working hard on implementation of asian fonts in Document Server. So we need both standard and non-standard fonts to analyze their behaviour in our product. Please send us fonts via [email protected] or attach them to your messages. We will appreciate your assistance.
Best regards
John

Have this problem solved?

[dnwk]

Is it possible to use web-fonts instead of loading fonts from server?

[K0R0L]

1) We are using only server fonts.
2) Proplem with unvisible/default symbols ("square") - will be fixed in version 5.1. Soon.
