Font Themes

Font themes define the typefaces and bullet point styles that are made available to users in Microsoft Office via the primedocs ribbon. They are configured per organizational unit and inherited by all child OUs.

Configuration

Font themes are stored as XML in the Font Theme field of the organizational unit.

Inheritance

If no font theme is configured on an OU, the configuration from the nearest parent OU that has one is used. To override the parent, define a <FontTheme> element on the child OU.

note

Font and bullet changes take effect the next time a user synchronises primedocs Desktop or refreshes the web client.
