Add the Font Files to the BFS Server
Before you can use custom fonts on the Title, on buttons, or for Parental Control
messages, you must add links to the font files you want to use on the BFS server.
This section includes the procedures for adding the font file links to the BFS server.
Notes:
Notes:
Custom fonts are only available on high-resolution set-top boxes. Low-resolution
set-top boxes ignore the font settings and use the default fonts.
If you do not specify a font, the default Services Portal fonts will be used.
Fonts must be Binary File Transfer (.bft) files. Conversion utilities (such as Font
Gizmo from PowerTV
®
) exist to convert font files to .bft files. Contact Cisco
Services for more information.
The fonts you use must be placed in the application server's
/dvs/appFiles/ServicesPortal/data directory.
