Thanks Chris and Bernardo for getting back to me so quickly.

That’s good to know, although from the user experience point of view I don’t think that it’ll be sufficient, since it would still have the old font name in the web UI.

I’ll take a deeper look today and report back.

Hi David,

How does one add fonts to Koha for the label creator?

I’m curious about adding “Arial” ( or rather LiberationSans-Regular.ttf as matched by fc-match) and “Arial Bold” (or rather Roboto-Regular.ttf as matched by fc-match) to the Koha label creator.

I see we have a hard-coded list of font types in C4/Creators/Lib.pm. There is also a list of TTF files in etc/koha-conf.xml.

Changing paths in koha-conf.xml is enough, replacing entries for H and HB or any other.

Hard-coded fonts are effectively defaults. They are installed by a dependency (I don't recall which atm.).

Substituting fonts is done as Bernardo pointed out.
