Newer (Series 4Kx42, 3, 4, and 5) BrightSign players can display non-Latin characters (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew) by default, but you may want to assign a font to replace the default font. Older BrightSign HDx22, LSx22, and HDx20 players use a default Latin character set to display text and you must assign a custom font to display non-Latin characters on these players. 

BrightSign players can display any TrueType Font (.ttf or .ttc) file. Your text publishing method (

) will determine how you should upload the font to the player.

The BrightAuthor:connected user interface can use any font set installed on your operating system, but the player can only display font sets that are written to the storage device (e.g., microSD card). So even if a font displays correctly in BrightAuthor:connected, it will not appear on your display if that font is not on the player's storage device.

In BrightAuthor:connected, you can upload a new font through 

, as shown in Image 1, below. Once you have uploaded the font (using the arrow icon to the left of 

), it will be available to use in your presentation. It can be assigned to your text under 

In BrightAuthor Classic, you can specify a font for a single Live Text element, or you can choose a default font to use with all Live Text elements:

Change the Font for a Single Live Text Element

Choose a Default Font for Live Text Elements
