Font formats (database)

Font formats of a database define the representation of database content in models. They are only available in the database for which they were created. This enables you to individually design models and deviate from the conventions defined for your company.

To ensure that the models comply with the conventions of the corporate branding, assign the correct template. When users assign a template to a model, the font formats used in the template are automatically created in the font format management of the related database. Only font formats used in attributes and related objects that occur in models are added. Not adding unused fonts ensures that the size of the database volume is manageable.

If no template was assigned, the default font format of the database is used.

Users with the Font format management function privilege create font formats for databases in the Font formats group.
