Intel® Advisor XE, Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE, and Intel® Inspector XE all use system GTK* fonts for drawing. They need a vector (scalable) font installed as a default font for the user to show text in different sizes: bigger for titles, smaller for tables and text.

However, you may want to change the font or text size for preference or accessibility reasons. We do not recommend changing the system fonts, obviously, and they are easy enough to override with user-defined fonts stored separately for each user.
