Usage Note 64107: Unicode and local characters might be displayed as empty boxes in graphics output produced by Output Delivery System (ODS) Graphics
 |  |  |  |
Unicode and local characters might be displayed as empty boxes in graphics output that ODS Graphics produces. This problem occurs when the font in the style definition cannot support the character set.
To display correct values, create a style definition that uses a font that can produce the correct characters. Then point to that style definition within the ODS destination statement.
The following sample code illustrates the syntax and uses HTMLBLUE as the parent style and the font MTsans-serif-unicode. By default, the style definition is stored in SASUSER.TEMPLAT.
proc template;
define style fonts;
parent=styles.htmlblue;
class GraphFonts /
'NodeDetailFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",7pt)
'NodeInputLabelFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",9pt)
'NodeLabelFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",9pt)
'NodeTitleFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",9pt)
'GraphDataFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",7pt)
'GraphUnicodeFont'=("<MTsans-serif-unicode>",9pt)
'GraphValueFont'=("<MTsans-serif-unicode>, <sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",9pt)
'GraphLabel2Font'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",10pt)
'GraphLabelFont'=("<MTsans-serif-unicode>, <sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",10pt)
'GraphFootnoteFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",10pt)
'GraphTitleFont'=("<MTsans-serif-unicode>, <sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",11pt,bold)
'GraphTitle1Font'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",14pt,bold)
'GraphAnnoFont'=("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",10pt);
end;
