Customizing the Font Used in Text Fields

You can customize the font that is used to display text for any control that includes text. In order to do this, launch the product as an APM administrator.

To change the font in a field, you will need to customize the view in which the field is displayed. For example, if you wish to customize the Description field in the Asset Properties view, create a custom Asset Properties view.
