Ability to update server fonts via OCC/OttoFMS

Ottomatic Cloud Console
1

Hi,

If we want to either create PDF’s server side, or render fonts in WebDirect, we need to have those fonts installed on the server.

There’s no way to do this without RDP / Command line access to the host OS, but would it be possible, at least for Ottomatic hosted instances, to have some way to manage the installed Fonts? Perhaps adding the default Font’s folder to the FileManager in OttoFMS?

I think we could add the default Font folder pretty easily. @kduval , What do you think?

Yeah we could probably add it, I’ll get it on the list.

@kduval Not so easy on Linux, as there are more than 1, and you have to do some CLI magic to get them into the cache…

Good point John, we’ll look at it and either include it in the File Browser or have another UI for it

Yes please, if there is any way this can be done reliably, it would be a game changer.
Ideally there should also be a function to get fonts already installed, including versions etc.
