How To use Custom Fonts

Overview

SurveyToGo allows you to use custom fonts in your surveys to control how text is displayed during interviews.

There are two ways to add a custom font:

1. From a Local Path – Use a font file that is already stored on the data collection device.

2. From a Survey Attachment – Upload the font file as a survey attachment and then configure the survey to use it.

Both methods enable you to apply custom fonts to improve the appearance of your survey or support languages that require specific font files.

 

Customizing Steps

From Local Path

1.Copy the font file to a local path on the device/SD card.

2. Navigate to 'Language'

• The default option is 'None'. 

5. Specify the Font File Path

Enter the full path to the font file on the device, including the file name.

For example:

Note: Ensure that the font file is stored in the same location and has the same file name on all devices that will run the survey. Otherwise, the custom font may not load correctly.
