    • The available properties include italic, bold, strikethrough, underline, color, font name, font size, character set, and weight. The font you specify in the VI becomes the default font for the report.

    If you use the Set Report Font VI to set a font in an HTML report, the <font> tag is used to set the font. This tag remains valid until the end of the file. There is no </font> used.

    The table generated by the Append Table to Report VI does not use the font defined by the Set Report Font VI. The header and body texts of the table have different default fonts. You can use HTML tags to configure the text font for each cell of the table. Refer to the example at ni.com for more information about how to generate tables with different fonts.
