You can embed TrueType fonts in your PDF documents when using the Universal PDF printer or ODS PDF destination, and use customized fonts in the ODS RTF destinations. You can specify these fonts in the style sheet using the TEMPLATE procedure, such as:
'TitleFont' = ("Arial",13pt,Bold Italic)
Alternately, you can specify the font directly in your procedure and global statements, such as:
title1 f="Arial" "Title text";
With either method, you might get the following warning if you have not registered the TrueType font first:
WARNING: Font specification "Arial" failed.
Using default font family instead.
You need to register the fonts in SAS® before you can use them. This step needs to be completed once. The following statements register all TrueType fonts installed in the FONTS directory on a Windows system:
proc fontreg;
fontpath "%sysget(systemroot)\fonts";
run;
By default, the updates are written to the Sasuser library.
SAS KB0041893 "How to create PDF files that embed the desired fonts" shows how to register a specific font and use it with PROC TEMPLATE to define a custom style.
