Font Type 3 examples?
Hello,
reading chapter 5 of the specification my understanding is that:
- to support Unicode text in a PDF it looks useful to use a CIDFont.
- CIDFonts can be constructed with some TTF or Type-3-Fonts.
- TTF seems to be widely spread but Type-3 seems to be more "natural" for PDF (my interpretation).
Are there some Type-3 fonts that make it possible to test supporting Unicode characters in a PDF?
By "Unicode in a PDF" i mean constructing a PDF that displays UTF-8 input correctlyin a PDF and that also lets me select the text in the PDF and copy it into a text editor.
Are there some example Type-3 fonts available?
Are those example fonts license free?
In what format are they available?
Is there a standard format for Type-3 fonts?
Are there tools available for editing Type-3 fonts?
Best regards,
Torsten.
Dov is being polite. Type 3 should be regarded as legacy. If you're writing new applications and you don't need to support them (e.g. because you get given them in your input) then don't touch them. They may look slightly easier to code than TTF etc, but they introduce all sorts of implications around security etc that you'd be better off avoiding.

Can we change font size and font type in reports
Hi All Technical/Functional Masters,
We are developing some transactional reports in ISU. this report has 20 columns to be printed. On screen, display is not a problem but client has a requirement to download this report in PDF format and wants to print on A4-paper in Landscape. Although we have managed to accommodate all the columns on A4 paper but have to compromise with font size that are very small and not visible. If we download the report in excel format we are able to maintain the font size 8 and accommodate all columns after little format but same in PDF is a problem.
Can anyone tell whether we can increase the font size and change font type(from SAP standard to 'Arial') before sending the output in PDF ? Is there any property or utility that can be changed or used for this purpose.Function Module : CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
Include : THSTXWFPL
for modify font size
decrease fontsze foncharacter will increase
fontsize = 120. <-- Change
fontsize = 100. or fontsize = 80
Depend on your logon lang. My case logon 'TH' or 2. I modified font ZCORDIA (refer CordiaNEW thai font)
if is_cascading is initial.
case language.
when '0'. "Serbian
font = 'COURCYR'. devtype = 'SAPWIN'.
when '1'. "simpl.Chinese
font = 'CNHEI'. devtype = 'CNSAPWIN'. cjklang = 'X'.
when '2'. "Thai
font = 'THDRAFT'. devtype = 'THPDF'.
font = 'ZCORDIA'. devtype = 'ZMTHSWNU'.
font = 'THANGSAN'. devtype = 'ZPDFUC'.
when '3'. "Korean
font = 'KPSAMMUL'. devtype = 'KPSAPWIN'. cjklang = 'X'.
when '4'. "Romanian
font = 'COURIER'. devtype = 'I2SWIN'.
when '5'. "Slovenian
font = 'COURIER'. devtype = 'I2SWIN'.
when '6'. "Croatian
font = 'COURIER'. devtype = 'I2SWIN'.
when '8'. "Ukranian
font = 'COURCYR'. devtype = 'SAPWIN'.
Add font Cordia Thai
SE73 --> Fon familia --> ZCORDIA
Load Font Cordia thai to system
SE38 --> RSTXPDF2UC
load CORDIA.TTF
SE73 --> printer font --> 'ZMTHSWNU'
Add ZCORDIA font and copy AFM Metric from = 'THDRAFT'. devtype = 'THPDF'.
Modify AFM

Result : decrease space between character. Then Your PDF will have BIGGER FONT.

Hi,
I'm trying to add new font types to SAP GUI to be available to edit smartforms and mail forms, but, after I do the upload in SAP system (by SE73 transaction)of ARIAL font, when I associate it to a smartstyle, what really appears with ARIAL name is a Times New Roman font example.

Maybe this question isnt corresponding with this forum. But I have a thread with the answer... look at

Changing preferred font types for each language separately in Safari
Hi, I'm wondering in Safari->Preference->Appearance, you can change the default fonts for your main language, which is most likely English.
However, if I want to change font types for each specific language, e.g. Japanese or Traditional Chinese, how could I do that? I assume that if I change in the Appearance menu, it's global to all languages (e.g. English)?
Just to illustrate my question, in Firefox, I can go to Firefox->Preference->Content-> Fonts&Colors->Advanced, then I can change the font types for each language separately.
How do I do similar things in Safari in Leopard? Thanks.

Message was edited by: nmunsBut it seems very weird that for all the beautiful font types in Mac OS, the users are only stuck with the default font type only?
Perhaps, but it's just an example of how different browsers and apps offer different features. You should use the browser that works best for you. While FireFox may be good for that feature, it can't display some languages, like Hindi, correctly at all.
It is possible to change the font using a custom style sheet, which you can select via the advanced item in Safari preferences, but I don't think there is any way to do this on the basis of language.
What language are you specifically interested in changing the default font for? If you are getting the wrong kind of font for CJK (for example, seeing Japanese character types instead of the Chinese ones in Chinese text), this might be fixable by changing the language order in system prefs/international/languages. -
hello,i 'm from VietNam so i using another page.i don't know how to make ?
now,i 'm using connect data by httpservice and php.In localhost/phpmyadmin i write content in that and no problem, but when run web, font type don't exactly?? can u help me?thanksI am new to flex ( a few days...) and I don't know the
difference between embedded and device. I have not done anything
special with fonts at all thus far - so whatever the default is.
I used a tutorial to create a simple rss reader using flex.
The output is not even legible. Also, some other Flex applications
I view don't display type correctly either.
For example, when viewing (
http://flex.org/showcase
),]http://flex.org/showcase/),[/L] the "loading" animation contains
text, but for me only the top of the letters are visible, or
somehow the text is so obscured I can't read it. This is the case
with every loading animation.
Any ideas or feedback you have is appreciated - I'm quite
lost at this point. Thanks again!

Hello,
Are there any restrictions on font type using in Oracle Reports 6i on web. Example, Oracle Forms conversions document explains to use MS Sans Serif, San Serif and a few more.
Thanks in advance.There is no such restriction on types of fonts you can use. Whatever the font is used in designing the report, the same font will be shown on the webpage if it exists on that system where page is being displayed.

I have a problem while typing in my MacBook pro. it is showing different characters when i type. for example: qw`e§r]t[y= this is how when we type "qwerty|" can anyone help me pls?
You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
Good luck,

How to Change the Font Type for Printing Pocket Address Book?
I am new to the Mac and was entering in my contact info into the Address Book in hope of creating a Pocket Address Book (PAB). When I attempt to print out the PAB the default font is courier. When I click on "set" and access other font types, sizes, etc., I can't seem to find a way to apply or save the font type that I choose. In short, it stays as courier. I found an archived thread in a forum that suggests to validate the font I want - which I did and it was already validated - and otherwise I cannot seem to change it from courier. Any help on how to get the font I select to be applied instead of courier would be GREATLY appreciated!
You can also change it using the UIManager:
UIManager.put("OptionPane.foreground", Color.red);
UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", Color.red);
For a complete list of all properties you can change for each component check out this program:

How to change Font Type of the Title Text of a JFrame?
Hi,
I want to set a different Font Type for the Title text of the titlebar of my JFrame.
Is it possible? Can anyone show me how if it is?
Thanks.
NiteenMichael,
Thanks. It works!
But there was a problem. I was not using the :-
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
so I have to use it now.
Is it possible to do it without the default decorated look and feel? Because the default LNF title bar has too much height and I am cramped for space.
I know that's no excuse. I tried but it doesn't work.. I am using a extended JFrame like this:-
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
setSize(300,100);
setLocation(400,200);
Container container = getContentPane();
/* add components to this container here */
setVisible(true);
When I use getComponent() for the container, I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBound Exception.
When I set the argument to getComponent(0), the font in the title bar is not changed.
What else should I do?
Thanks.

I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

StarOffice 8 - finding all different font types in a Writer file
Hello,
I am currently using StarOffice 8 on a Windows XP system.
I frequently transfer a large Writer (.odt) file between different computer systems as I constantly update the file with new information. As part of the updates, I use different fonts. As I install a particular font on one machine, this font may not be installed on another machine when I add new information to the file on that particular machine.
When I open the Writer file on a machine that has some font not installed, the WYSIWYG appears incorrectly (since the proper font is not installed on that computer, of course) but if you highlight the incorrectly-displayed info, it says what the font type should be (ie, "WP Hebrew David" font). I then go online to download that specific font type for this the computer. Then the data is displayed correctly.
When you have many, many different font types used in a file, it is hard to keep track of all different fonts used. Before anyone questions me on using so many different fonts in a file, it is important for my file to visually display the correct data, and this means using a quantity of fonts.
What I am wondering is the following:
Is there a way from within StarOffice 8 to scan a particular file and then let the user know every different font name used in that file?
That way, if the file contains a font which was used on another machine but not currently installed on the current machine -- when I am updating information in the file -- I can then see a list of fonts used and then install new fonts accordingly after checking to see if they are installed (by checking the Fonts folder in C:/Windows)
I hope this makes sense, or is it "clear as mud"?
Please excuse my bad English grammar as I am not a native English speaker, but have picked it up living in Canada for the last 20 years :-)
Cheers & thanks in advance for any help !
David

There is a Fonts Used macro writer_printAllFonts.sxw Further checking this is the wrong StarBasic macro. The one I use came from an OOo forum I think. I use it with SO7, SO8 and SO9.
It is at the end of this message. To install it:
[1] Copy the macro below to the clipboard
[2] Go to Tools>Macros>Organize Macros>Basic>Standard
Select New. Highlight what is there, paste, and close.
[3] Go to Tools>Customize>Menus>Tools
Highlight Word Count, then go to Add>Macros>My Macros>Standard>Module1
