Rave Reports Visual Designer

FontMaster component (TRaveFontMaster) - Standard Tab

The FontMaster is a non-visible component that allows you to define standard fonts for different parts of your reports, like header, body and footer.

If you place a FontMaster on a global page, then you can change its name to reflect it purpose like "FontTitles", "FontBody" or "FontTotals" and through the font editor you can set these to any font, font size you want. Then you would use the "FontMirror" property of the Text components to point to appropriate FontMaster definition. The power of this becomes apparent if you need to change the titles to a "new" font. If you have used FontMaster, then you would go to the FontTitles definitions, change it once and it would be changed on every report / page definition that used that FontMaster definition.
