Adding a new font to sas registry

Daily1 — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 06:51:58 GMT

How do I add a new font to the SAS registry? I have located it on WinSCP. I need the code for adding a single font to the SAS registry using SAS EG.

path "/SASCODE/fonts/newfont.ttf"

The documentation is your friend. Look for the fontreg procedure and you'll find for instance: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/proc/n0jej4n3rsxko6n1x9cgy3s454ez.htm

proc fontreg;
   fontfile "/SASCODE/Mar_fonts/DVOTSurekhMR_N_Ship.ttf";
run;

ods rtf file='use_macfont.rtf';
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd
   style(header)={font_face='DVOTSurekhMR_N_Ship' font_size=12pt}
   style(column)={font_face='DVOTSurekhMR_N_Ship' font_size=12pt};  
run;
ods _all_ close;

This result is reflected in the Courier font. I want DVOTSurekhMR_N_Ship font.

The specification for the font face is not correct. When you open the ttf file on a windows workstation you should be able to see the font name with which the font would be registered in windows. In the case of LoveDays-2v7Oe.ttf you would see "Love Days". For this font the font_face should have "<ttf> Love Days". So you'll have to look for the font name for the font you want to use. That should also remove the NOTES in the saslog regarding the failed font specification.

ods rtf file='use_macfont.rtf';
ods html file='/SASCODE/Mar_fonts/use_macfont.html';
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd
   style(header)={font_face='DVOT-SurekhMR' font_size=12pt}
   style(column)={font_face='DVOT-SurekhMR' font_size=12pt};  
run;
ods _all_ close;

I found that the font named 'DVOT-SurekhMR' works in HTML, but it does not work in RTF.
