Hi,

Arial fonts are not available in SAP, you have to install them.

Use transaction SE73 to install new font.

If you install True Type Arial font, your work will be easier. In you PC, under Control Panel-->font folder, you will find Arial (True Type) font.

This will only install Arial font in sap. After installiing Arial font, you need to create all different size and type of Arial font, like size 9, 10, 11, 12 with <b>BOLD</b>, <i>Italic</i> feature. You can do this in SE73 inself once you install Arial True type font. It is not required to install all size and type of arial font. Just install Arial (True Type) font and set it for different size and configuration.

I hope this answer your question.

Thanks,

Pal

To upload font first locate ur file for that font in this case Arial ,

normally u will find this file in C:\windows\font copy that file from there in

some other directory. then goto transaction code SE73 give ur font name

in SAP starting with Z and give ur font file path.

True Type-Font installiern
