I recently installed a font on the server, but I noticed a rendering issue on my local machine where a square appears instead of the logo. After installing the same font on my local machine, the symbol displays correctly.
Does the font need to be installed on both the server and the client for it to work properly?
Work I good pdf and views but in print view s not working
Hi, Please confirm if it'll work on grids also? Like general ledgers, reports (salary registers etc.)
