I want IBM to include IBM Plex fonts for ELM installation to Linux so that garbled character problems do not occur in non-English environment.

I want IBM to include IBM Plex fonts for ELM installation to Linux and configure it as default font so that garbled character problems do not occur.

 

Garbled character problems occurs in the following features when ELM runs on Linux platform and used by non-English locale browsers.

-Preview feature in Doors Next
-PDF print in Doors Next
-PDF print in Test Management

Configuration for each feature is different so it is confusing.

Currently IBM has own multi-language font as IBM Plex.

e.g. Japanese,Korean,Thai,Chinese TC, Chinese SC

It will be very helpful if ELM is installed with these multi-language font and configured to use these font as default font in Linux.
