If you like, you can install more fonts with those easy steps:

Get login for your FileMaker Cloud Server via SSH.
Create a new folder in /usr/share/fonts folder for your fonts.
e.g. sudo mkdir --mode=777 /usr/share/fonts/myfonts
Copy fonts in your new folder.
Run "fc-cache -f -v" command to update cache.
You can verify with "fc-list" command whether fonts were found.
Reboot machine or at least restart the WebDirect engine.

Now you can create PDFs with any font you like. Let me know if it works for you.

You can use MBS( "DynaPDF.AddFontSearchPath"; $PDF; "/usr/share/fonts"; 1 ) with our DynaPDF functions to use the fonts on the FileMaker Cloud. Claris FileMaker Plugin
