Article summary

When attempting to run a report this error can occur, " Error** Font <font-number> not in Font Set " may occur. Along with this, you may notice an error saying that .Net assemblies failed to update when launching FIMS.

Answer:
The font error can occur for two reasons:

1. Typically this error occurs if the Font on the workstation as set in User Preferences on thr workstation for FIMS in on a different setting than the Server. Go to Tools>User Preferences>All Other Preferences>"Report_Font_Size" and change it to none or change it to a number that matches the FIMSNT.ini file on the server.
  • Only on-premise customers would be able to see the fimsnt.ini file
2. If the user has changed other settings in their user preferences relating to font for example, in the editor.
  • Run a system information report and see if there are any unique font settings for the user:

System Information Report

  • Set the following options in the report:

System Initial setup and other system info

System options

User Preferences


If the .Net error occurs:
  • This error occurs if the .Net assemblies were never registered on the computer which is evidenced by the failed .Net update message that occurs when launching FIMS.
  • To fix that, for on-premises customers: Right click on the FIMS icon and run as admin. After that you should get a message that .Net registered successfully. If you get an error while trying to run as admin, check and see if UAC is turned on, or is on a high setting. If UAC is turned on, turn it off, re-start the computer and lauch FIMS, you should then get a message saying that .Net registered successfully and the font error message should go away when you run the edit and post admin fee process.
  • If a .Net error occurs after the font error in Azure Cloud, create a support case.
