Formatting and Editing Text
The Rich Text Editor included in the Integrity Lifecycle Manager Web interface and GUI provides you with a “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWIG) editing area. In a rich content field, you can control the appearance of content in respect to fonts, headings, lists, tables, images, horizontal lines, layout, and structure.
• In the Web interface, rich text features are available in the rich content toolbar.
• In the GUI, rich text features are available in the rich content edit and format toolbars and on the Format menu, the Edit menu, and the shortcut menu.
| The number of fonts displayed in the rich content toolbar and the Font Properties window can differ if your rich content contains various fonts. This occurs when the fonts are already in use in the rich content field and the relevant fonts are absent in the operating system. However, you can use the same font even if it is absent in the operating system. The text containing the absent font is visible as plain text. You can also change the font, if required. |
Font Availability
Different fonts and font sizes can be specified in rich content fields.
• In the Web interface, you can use the following fonts:
◦ Arial
◦ Courier New
◦ Georgia
◦ Tahoma
◦ Times New Roman
◦ Verdana
◦ Sans-serif
• In the GUI, you can use the fonts available in the Web interface as well as additional fonts available for your operating systems.
Key Considerations
• In the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client GUI, the default font for rich content fields is Arial. On Japanese operating systems, the default font is MS Gothic. On Chinese systems running Windows, the default font is Microsoft YaHei. On Chinese systems running Linux, the default font is wqy-microheif. The default font size is 10 points.
• The font list is dependent on the operating system. Selective fonts are available in Microsoft Windows and Oracle Solaris operating systems. You can use fonts common to the Integrity Lifecycle Manager interface or your operating systems to correctly view the content. For example, you can select Arial, Courier New, Georgia, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana, or Sans-serif fonts when working with the Web interface and GUI. You can use the same fonts if the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client is installed on Microsoft Windows and Oracle Solaris operating systems.
• Some fonts in the GUI and the Web interface do not appear correctly. Such fonts display as squares or plain text in the GUI. However, they display correctly in the Web interface.
• Some fonts display correctly in Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. However, these fonts do not display correctly in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers. There is no content loss even if the fonts do not display correctly.
• The addition of custom fonts to the GUI requires a restart of the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client for correct display of content.
• The custom size of the fonts from an external source like Microsoft Word is retained in rich content fields. However, you cannot use the same font size to format other text.
• The text generated using Integrity client 10.8 or later is displayed correctly in older clients without any loss of content or style.
• You can also edit text in a rich content field using common word-processing commands, such as cut, copy, paste, find and replace, and spell checking.
• Pressing CTRL+SPACE inserts a non-breaking space at the insertion point.
Known Limitations
The following are known limitations for rich text content in the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client GUI:
• Some rich text content can contain multiple fonts, font sizes, and styles. If you select such content in rich text fields, Integrity Lifecycle Manager displays the style information for the first character in the selected text. You can view this style information in the rich content toolbar and the Font Properties window.
• Applying heading styles to rich text content containing specified font sizes and bold text style does not update such content to match the heading styles.
• If you change the font size for new text and insert new characters between them, the inserted characters display as per the default font size initially. If you further introduce characters at other positions in the new text, Integrity Lifecycle Manager displays the applied font size. Editing such text restores the applied font size.
• Applying Preformatted text style to the existing text converts the font of the existing text to the Monospaced font. However, the rich content toolbar displays Arial as the applicable font for the existing text.
• If you change the font of existing text and then apply Preformatted text style, the existing text does not change to Monospaced font. The existing text retains the changed font.
