MapServerError - Requested font not found

[Rsalafia]

I have a workflow that ran this morning that ran fine. Now when I run it I get an error.

The error reads: MapServerError - Routine:msFontsetLookupFonts()Message:Requested font (--Calibri) not found. Code:6

I have closed the application and opened and still receive the error.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The workflow I was working with is very large with lots of confidential information. It's quite tedious (especially if there's a lot of inputs) but I ended up changing the font to avoid receiving the error. It did happen again with another workflow. The system doesn't like "calibri" sometimes, I guess. ;)

@Rsalafia This error occurs occasionally when the workflow XML decides to mess with the font name. I've seen it before usually with Arial. You can uncheck the custom font check box and that should resolve the issue. You can also look at the workflow XML and find the issue font.  It will likely have two dashes (--) in front of it. Delete the dashes and you will be ok.

Thank you so much for the response. I will be sure to try the next time I have the issue.

Thank you for the information.  I unchecked the custom font box....ran the module....changed it back to the Arial font and resaved the Gallery App.  This corrected the issue for me.
