Font formats
A font format is a type of template to represent a font. This set of global parameters defines the appearance of text characters in a specific style and size for a particular language. Font formats for databases define the representation of database content in models. They are available only in the database for which they are created.
For further information, refer to Font formats under Manage model templates.
