Resolution

DE49382: New UX: Cannot Preview or Print PDF Status Reports

Without the required fonts, some systems, especially Clarity application servers running Linux, might display the following error when users try to generate a status report in the New User Experience:

To resolve:

1. To install fonts, download this file: msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm

2. Copy to Linux server

3. As the root user, run this command: rpm -Uvh <pathtorpm>/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
 
4. Ensure fonts show correctly with this command:  fc-list
 
5. If fc-list is not found, install it with this command:  yum install fontconfig

6. Restart Clarity App services on the server(s).
