Issue/Introduction

This article describes the reason why the font name is not displayed in the visualization properties.

Environment

All Supported Operating Systems

Resolution

This behaviour occurs because the font used in that particular visualization is not installed on the machine. When the analysis is opened in the Spotfire Analyst the required font cannot be found but Spotfire is still able to show the visualization data.  In this case the font used in the visualization needs to be installed on the machine on which the analysis is opened. 

Please refer the below Knowledge Article for more information on the Web Player displaying different font than what is displayed on the Analyst.
