How do I increase the size of characters / texts

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I would like to increase the size of characters in texts, menus screens, lists, etc... But when I logon to SAP, the very first screen I get is too small for me. Can't see or read what is written on the very first screen.

I tried and changed windows (VISTA) personalization options, tried "Tweak SAP GUI", changed font size, tried Options, tried new visual design, tried font 118N but nothing seems to work. The text remains the same size and nothing changes!!

Any idea how to do this please?

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,

The font size and color of the menu items are hard coded in template

servcices.html.

Solution

The hard coding is replaced with a standard stylesheet class.

Apply the LCP and publish the service PZLE on the ITS. If you would like to make the changes in advance, you can apply the following source code corrections.

Source code corrections:

Using the SAP@Web Studio, make the following source code changes for service PZLE, theme99, file servcices.html

Check in the file back to the R/3.

Publish the file to the ITS.

Up to Release 3.1H the graphic programs used the Windows default font. However, this typeface may not be compatible to the country version or it does not look good.

Solution

SAPGui Release 3.1I and higher or SAPGui Release 4.0x.

Now the graphic determines a different default Windows font.

This is generally font 'MS Sans Serif'.

If the displayed font does not comply to your wishes you have the option to choose a different character set.

To do this call the Registry editor of Windows.

Choose 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/Graphics'.

If the path 'SAP/Graphics' does not exist you will have create it.

Create a 'String' in the above mentioned path. Name the character string 'Font'.

Enter the following for the value:

• Specify the font name as it occurs in the system control.

• Comma

• Leave empty for the ANSI font, 'O' for OEM font.

• Comma

• Specify the required hight of the character set, with/without minus sign.

• Comma

• (nothing, the width is calculated automatically from the height.)

However, you may specify a user-defined width, but we do not recommend it since the font will not look optimal this way.

• Comma

• Leave empty for proportional font, 1 for equidistant font.

Examples:

Font Arial 15 ,

Font Courier -12 1

Font Times New Roman -12 ,

Note:

The solution described above only works under Windows NT and Windows 95. It does not work on a 16bit Windows platform!

To activate the new font, exit all SAP graphics programs. After restarting the graphic the new font is displayed. The font is valid then not only for the graphics output in programs but also for all dialog elements of the graphics (with the exception of the Windows menu bar).

Hope this might help you. Reward accordingly.
