DG16 introduced 15 new fonts not found in any previous Pulse DG software. These new font files are automatically installed with DG16. For older supported versions, 14 and 15 the font files will have to be downloaded and installed for use after making a purchase as these are optional with versions prior to DG16.
This article will guide you through the process of downloading and installing the fonts; also attached is a specification sheet for each of the new fonts. **Please note, any optional font must be purchased to be used; on order processing, Pulse will issue a new license update file for your unique security device which will authorize access to the fonts purchased ** Fonts are license specific and will only be activated by the security device license they have been purchased for - two or more software licenses will require a purchase for each license to have access to new fonts.
Two files create the complete font for the Pulse software, .FON which is the font file itself and .PCX which is the icon preview for the font. Both files for a specific font should be downloaded for installation.
