ODS PDF: Font is not available

Hi,

I have problem with one warning: """WARNING: The font <sans-serif> is not available. Albany AMT will be used.""" on SAS server. I understand the problem but how to solve it without Admin rights. any hints?

IF I run the following code in EG8, there is no warning:

proc univariate data = sashelp.cars noprint;
histogram horsepower ;
title1 j=center height=15pt "title";
inset mean median n / position=nw cfill=ywh;
label horsepower= "sub_title";
run;

NOTE: PROCEDURE UNIVARIATE used (Total process time):
real time 0.13 seconds
cpu time 0.14 seconds

But when I try to export to PDF I get the following warning:

ods graphics on;

ods pdf FILE="/home/aaaa.pdf" style=HTMLBlue ;
ods select Histogram;

proc univariate data = sashelp.cars noprint;
histogram horsepower ;
title1 j=center height=15pt "title";
inset mean median n / position=nw cfill=ywh;
label horsepower= "sub_title";
run;

WARNING: The font <sans-serif> is not available. Albany AMT will be used.

The font may be not registered. Probably running Proc Fontreg may help: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/proc/n0gjtkngh991mgn1bmllxhm76bl2.htm

Though it requires admin... so...

Maybe any hints How to change the default font?

I tried with this option:

goptions ftext="Comic Sans MS";

But the same.

One way would be to use a different ODS style. Like don't override the default that ODS PDF uses.

Goptions is for graphics options and mostly for the older device based graphics and would, if having any affect, likely only effect the output of procedures such as Gplot, Gchart, G3d, Gmap and/or Greplay.
