Problem with a new font

[Former Member]

Hi, I tried to install a new TrueType font to use in SmartForms, which I did using the transaction SE73.

Now when I print an invoice from the transaction VF03, it's using the new font, although I made no changes to the form being used! The print preview didn't change, it's still using the old font.

This behavior occurs only when I log on my PC, when I use SAP from another preson's PC or when another person uses SAP from my PC, the printed invoice is correct.

I de-installed this font but the printout of my invoices didn't change.

Does anybody have an idea what to do?!

did you use frontend printing? In that case, maybe you also have installed the font in your windows, while other people don't.

Below I assume that you used frontend printing:

- What frontend device type is used by your output device? (SPAD transaction; possible values: sapwin, i2sapwin, etc.)

- What font do you use in your smart form?

- What values for print controls 1 and 2 do you have for your device type? (SE73 transaction, choose printer fonts)

- What font substitutions do you have in saplpd program? (run saplpd from command line if it is not already opened)

My output device is LOCL and is of type I2SWIN. Under "access method" I see "host spool access method: printing on front end computer".

- What font do you use in your smart form?

"Family" field of "character formats/font attributes" in SmartForms is empty (I suppose it uses default fonts).

- What values for print controls 1 and 2 do you have for your device type? (SE73 transaction, choose printer fonts)

I don't know how to link my LOCL output device with a device type on this list?

- What font substitutions do you have in saplpd program? (run saplpd from command line if it is not already opened)

None, the list is empty.

Look at smart style header, you'll see the default font.

The default font is Courier, and that's not the one that's been used for printing the invoice!

Hello Marko, could you solve the issue, and how?

Thx

I deinstalled the font in transaction SE73 and it helped. This had nothing to do with the form itself.
