Uploading custom font files

Upload new font files to customize and improve the user interface of your mobile apps. You can change fonts for the text that is displayed on native elements of your mobile app, or replace the font for icons in your imported mobile app. In Pega Platform, you store font files as binary files. For more information, see About Binary File rules.
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click Create > Technical > Binary File.
  2. On the Create Binary File form, in the Label field, enter the font name, for example, MyFontNameRegular or UIKitIcons.
  3. In the App Name (Directory) field, enter the name of the folder that contains your font file, for example, myAppName.
  4. In the File Type (extension) field, enter ttf.
  5. Click Create and Open.
  6. On the Edit Binary File form, click Upload file.
  7. In the Upload file window, click Choose file, select the font file, and then click Upload file.
  8. Click Save.
  9. Optional: To use other font weights that belong to the same text font family, repeat steps 1 through 8, and then upload font files for each of the weights.
    For example: You can upload such fonts as MyFontNameBold.ttf and MyFontNameLight.ttf.
    A TTF file contains one font weight only.
