Creating the font settings file for imported applications

To ensure that your imported mobile app is displayed properly with the Mobile – Slide Up layout, you customize the icon font for the native elements of your mobile app. After you upload the converted font file, create an empty text file for font settings. Pega Platform stores font settings for Pega Infinity Mobile Client in the pyMobileFontsList file. When you import a mobile app that uses UI Kit in a version that is earlier than version 14, the pyMobileFontsList file is missing from the mobile app definition, and you must create that file manually.
Before you begin: Upload the font files. For more information, see Uploading custom font files.
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click Create > Technical > Text File.
  2. On the Create Binary File form, in the Identifier field, enter the font name, pyMobileFontsList.
  3. In the App Name (Directory) field, enter the name of the folder that contains the font settings file, for example, myAppName.
  4. In the File Type (extension) field, enter txt.
  5. Click Create and Open.
  6. Click Save as > Specialize by class or ruleset, and then select your application in the Context area.
What to do next: Modify the fonts list to add the font for icons in your imported mobile app. For more information, see Modifying the font settings file for imported applications.
