Concept: Report Designer Fonts
In Report Designer, the
Font
drop-down list displays only fonts that are available on the Workday server and Workday provides these fonts to the report design at runtime. Workday supports Serif and Sans Serif font styles.ID Automation Fonts

Unicode and Internationalization of Text in Report Designs
Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text in most of the world's writing systems. Each Unicode character can be represented by a different character encoding, also known as a
code point
, the most commonly used being UTF-8 and UTF-16.A computer font is an electronic data file containing a set of glyphs, characters, or symbols where each of the glyphs, characters, or symbols is a visual representation of a character encoding. There are now many fonts based on Unicode, for example, TrueType and OpenType. These font formats map Unicode code points to glyphs, characters, or symbols.
Unicode-based fonts typically focus on supporting only basic ASCII, or particular sets of characters or symbols. These are the reasons for this approach to font design:
- Applications and documents rarely need to render characters from more than one or two writing systems.
- Fonts tend to demand resources in computing environments.
- Designing a consistent set of rendering instructions for tens of thousands of glyphs, characters, or symbols constitutes a massive task.
