Hi,

I have gone through all following points

A. Install all new fonts in the Computer/ Server
B. Add language folders in ~\htdocs\locale
C. Go to ~\htdocs\application\helpers and insert commands for the desired languages in SurveyRuntimeHelper.php
D. Go to ~\ htdocs\third_party\ckeditor\_source\plugins\font and edit Plugin.js file using notepad++. Press ctrl+f and search for ‘verdana’. Add all the fonts that you have installed in step A.
E. Go to ~\htdocs\third_party\ckeditor and edit ckeditor.js file using notepad++. Press ctrl+f and search for ‘verdana’. Add all the fonts that you have installed in step A.

but I am not getting desired font in my language. Please see attached screenshot

Well, one error would be that in your CSS the respective font is referenced at the end of font-family. The browser will start from the first font in the list, check if it is there, if yes, use it, if not move to the next. So to give priority to your font, it needs to be at the beginning of the list.

However, this font looks very strange and I doubt that many people will have it installed on their computer. However, CSS like this only works with fonts installed on the computer of the user. Therefor you will need to use very common fonts to make sure they are available on the computer of all users. Otherwise it looks good on your computer, but for all others it will look like in your example.

You might want to have a look into web-fonts. There are approaches that allow you to use fonts that are not installed on the users computer.

The fonts uploaded to the server are usually for the applications that create images.

Have a look at the manual! It is a really valuable source for information. Here some helpful links:

I want to know which file I should edit...

Hi,
You have to edit related CSS rules the most of the time into template.css; Order fonts into "font-family" declarations (priority fonts first):

@font-face
{
font-family: MyCustomFont;
src: url('MyCustomFont.ttf'),
     url('MyCustomFont.eot'); /* for IE9 */
}

* {font-family:'MyCustomFont',Courier,System,Terminal,Consolas}

But my survey is in 4 languages each having custom font. My question is how can make each language custom font as priorty font when I run survey in that language. I dont want to hardcode any one font highest priority

In addition of Denis's solution you can also:

1) Use the {LANG} keyword and add (startpage.pstpl) a link to an extra .CSS file, where you will just set or change the font-familly.
eg. <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='all' href='yourinstall.com/templates/yourtemplate/font_{LANG}.css' />

2) Change the font into the survey description field using jquery

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$( "<style type='text/css'>"
+"* { font-family:MyCustomFont !IMPORTANT }"
+"</style>").appendTo( "head" );
});
</script>

(NOTE: it's not very W3C compliant but if you prefer you can directly insert a link to an additional stylesheet in the description field without use of javascript:
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='all' href='yourinstall.com/templates/yourtemplate/MyCustomFont.css' />)
.
