Crystal Migration Font Inconsistency

Hi all,
I am in a migration process from Crystal report 8.5 to CR XI, I have more than 200 Reports files
CR 8.5
--while designing in 8.5 i have used Ariel (Western) size 8.
CR XI
--the above font is not available but i can see only Ariel.
When i am viewing the report in java inet viewer, the report format is Distracting.
can any one please suggest me the equal font to Ariel Western 8?
best regards
Ali

Hi Ali,
Thanks for your Response,
You can Down load the particular font and try to copy that font in Cr XI version.
As this was suggested earlier by Swetha.
Just check after Downloading this font whether you are able to run the report in Infoview.
Else you can download active X viewer and try with that viewer, you can also set that viewer as a default for all the reports.
Regards,
Naveen.

Crystal report font issue when rendered as PDF

Hi we are experiencing an issue with custom fonts within Crystal reports. The font is an open type font that does appear to work if the report is viewed as a crystal report, but when it is rendered or scheduled into a PDF instance it fails and gives a Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when using openDocument and scheduling gives exporter error. Any help or feedback is appreciated

Aaron,
OpenType is not supported for PDF at least in:
Crystal 10

The ADAPT indicated has been postponed.
I canu2019t find an official statement for XI 3.1, however, there is a test you can run and itu2019s to delete the Opentype font from the server and use the same font name but TTF instead. At least, this behaviour has been reported here:

Crystal Report Font ISSUE in PDF

Use the CR9 and CR2008 open the same report template file and export it as pdf file.
The font format in the two pdf files are different.
I compared the font size using File-Options (Fonts used in this document),
In the pdf file created by CR9, it is like:
Arial +6 (Embedded)
by CR2008, it is like:
Arial (Embedded Subset)
How can I make the CR2008 displays the same font like CR9 in the C# code?
Thanks for help, because it's quite important to our project, without getting this resolved, the report files will be rejected by customer.

Download SP2 and test again, if it's still an issue then Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Font not being recognised by add-on

We have a customer who uses a specific font for their reports. It is present in control panel -> fonts on both the client machine and server. When they run the report straight from Crystal, the font shows as it should but when running it through the Crystal add-on, it defaults to Times New Roman, Any ideas why?
Thanks,
Kate

InDesign "Find Font" deletes text - help!

So I open a file, use 'find font' to find and replace a font. Sometimes when I hit "change all" it deletes entire paragraphs of text. I've tried it with different fonts and it's not consistent. Sometime it deletes, sometimes it doesn't.
Just now, I did a "change font" from Garamond to Univers and lost a paragraph on page one - no text in the box whatsoever. So I did and Undo. Then, I did the exact same "change font" again. Paragraph on first page is fine, one on page 2 goes missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry it took me some time to get back...
#1 original file with the original fonts
#2 I have done a "Find Font" and replaced with Univers. Notice much of the text on page one is missing... it just seems to disappear (delete). In this case, some text in the same box was left, I think because it was a different font that the rest in the original font.
Sometimes it deletes everything in the text box, not just a portion.
Also, I originally suspected my Univers font to be the issue, however, that's not the case. This happens with several different fonts, inconsistently.

Selecting clearest English fonts in Firefox?

We purchased a 13" MBA with OS X Lion for wife, and she complains the blurry fonts are hurting her eyes.
Her 2003 WindowsXP (xfx GeForce 6200 card) on a 23" Sceptre at 1920x1200
with display driver's Advance option selected
for fonts display at 144dpi 150% gives crystal clear font edges.
The MBA fonts all have shadowy edges.
(Genius Bar guy told her to sit farther from the screen. She will, close to her Windows computer.)
I have tried setting the smoothing off for under 12 point, unchecking the let page override fonts,
and also tried setting large minimums in Firefox,
(and also tried setting to the exact same Firefox fonts and size preferences as the WinXP:
 Proportional: Serif 16
 Serif: Times New Roman
 San-Serif: Arial
 MonoSpace: Courier New 13
 Minimum: None
There are lots of fonts in the list - any better than the defaults?

It looks like you have hinting turned on at work and turned off at home. Which one looks better is a matter of personal choice. Some well-hinted fonts, such as MS Arial, appear more readable to me with hinting turned off at sizes <= 8 pt.
Font configuration in Linux can be complicated, but you have much more control over the process than you do with Windows or OSX. The Fonts wiki is a great starting point but there are many good resources out there like this: http://www.nixer.org/anti-alias-truetype-fonts?page=69. Maybe the best way to understand how font configuration works is to study the configuration files in /etc/fonts/conf.avail

Font Help! 1200 fonts and counting...

So I just figured out that I must have been migrating fonts from computer to computer for years, I have 1200 fonts installed and I am at a bit of a loss on where to even begin to get this mess under control. What is the best way? Is there a way to deactivate everything except for system fonts and then activate the others as programs ask for them? How would I do that?

You can move your fonts to a folder on your desktop. Then, only your system fonts will be functioning. You can move back whatever your want to the original fonts folder whenever you want.
Before you do the moving, you should use Font Book to eliminate duplicate and bad fonts.

Inconsistent Flash 10 Viewing in Snow Leopard...

Hi all,
This may end up being old hat for some, but I thought I would share a quick finding that was causing some definite viewing inconsistencies in the flash player on various sites; in particular the Adobe Store site! First for some facts:
I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and Safari 4.0.4 with the 10.0.32.18 player
I recently purchased a new iMac and decided to create a new account for setup and app installations, but migrated other user accounts from a previous Tiger installation.
I have been able to view flawlessly various sites that included flash content on the setup account, but have had flaky results on the same sites from the migrated accounts.
The migrated accounts were using the same system plug-ins under Safari as the setup account.
The permissions were repaired and verified.
Admin and non-admin accounts (that were not the setup account) were experiencing the same flash viewing problems.
KEY FACT: I noticed that the common characteristic of the problem sites was that flash was having problems displaying various kinds of text in the browser and was not having issues playing video content.
After some deep comparisons of the setup account vs. the other problem accounts, I noticed that the setup account was using 100% /Library/Fonts and had nothing located in the /{usr home}/Library/Fonts whereas the problem accounts had "migrated" some /{usr home}/Library/Fonts over with them and they were pretty old at that. I moved them out of the local library location temporarily and forced the usage of the newer /Library/Fonts and the sites were happy; especially the Adobe Store.
I know that there are lot of variables that can cause display issues, but I just wanted to get this one out there because I know many are experiencing sporadic problems and are expecting it to be the player itself, but in this case it wasn't. With these continued OS and product releases, we are collecting more and more cruft with each upgrade and this one finally caught up with me! Hope it helps.
Marc

I didn't understand half of what you wrote, but apparently that doesn't matter. I've been having extremely annoying issues with flash based video players for a few months, and no amount of updating has helped. I took your advice and deleted the migrated fonts from my home folder and lo-and behold, the problem is gone! I have no idea why, but I'm so thankful! THANK YOU!
More details: YouTube's video player would play videos, but the buttons of the player would disappear. Any time text appeared over the video, like with comments and the like, the boxes would be empty. Some fringe players wouldn't work at all. Now? Problem, solved.

Need to Automate a Report to Export to File in CR9 Developer

Post Author: KJ7
CA Forum: General
Hi... I'm not even sure if this is possible. I've got a fairly basic report - a control table with a key field that links to another table "work orders" with a primary key... from there, I have a few other tables (client, project, rooms, etc.) with ancillary keys which link back to that secondary table & give supporting information/details.
I need to run this report nightly - which basically gives me the daily schedule by work order - and export the file to a file location as a CSV (ideally with "|") as the character separator (but tabs are OK too).
I've got the developer version of CR9 - because that (CR9) is what the other software we're running our SQL server utilizes to run the software is compatable with.
Can anyone out there tell me if what I need to do is even possible? (I'm not sure I an upgrade is an option).
Thanks so much!

"file is damaged and cannot be repaired" CS3 to CS4

hello,
I was emailed an illustrator CS3 file which I cannot open in CS4. I can open in CS3 but when I try to open in CS4 I get error "this file is damaged and cannot be repaired"
when I open in CS3 I get a message about font inconsistency...but the file still opens.
any suggestions?

Lara,
yes it said something like "some fonts are not supported..etc...would you like to open the file anyway." (sry cant remember verbatim...I had a friend of mine try to open it on her comp which has cs3).
I believe CS3 should substitute the fonts in question, or at least give you the option to substitute them. Did you try saving it from CS3 (with or without font substitution) and then opening in CS4 as I suggested?
CS4 may be more particular than CS3 when it comes to fonts. Illy is more particular than most applications (some applications open files with corrupt fonts that she flatly refuses), and she may have become more particular over the years.

Migration from crystal reports 8 to 11 - Formatting Issue(Criticial)

Post Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
I have migrated my crystal report version from version 8 to version 11 (evaluation version) but I am seeing some formattiong issue
My entire report data has moved little bit toward right so my rightmost line (table) wraps up in next page and hence leaving every second page blank.
is it that I am using evaluation version that is casuing problme. Report is opening up properly but it's the formatting issues
Or it's something else
Let me know

Well I will definately try that. Currenlty I am in process of downloading licensed version to observe the behaviour
But just looking at font sizes in both pdf's (version 8 and 11), it seems that font sizes are same in both pdfs. But I will confirm that once I open the crystal report 11 designer
Probably you can send me your e-mail ID so that I can send you both pdf's
I am also planning to compare property/obect values in crystal report 11 designer to see if anything else got changed that needs to be reverted as it was in crystal report 8.
Thanks

Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?
Scott

We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server. There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
Cascading Parameters
Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price. My company already had the licenses for SQL Server. However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
Hope this info helps.

UPC fonts in crystal runtime reset after fresh logging into SAP B1 desktop client?

Dear Experts,
I have a client who has SAP version: Business One 8.82 (8.82.069) PL: 06 Hotfix2 and Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.892 Product Type: Full.
They have a shipping report that is printed from production module. They needed UPC barcodes on the report. The achieved that through IDAutomation Fonts. The crystal report uses the IDAutomation Function that takes the field and converts and the font is IDAutomation Font that shows the fields are barcodes.
This repeated works when logged into SAP server using specific id.
IDAutionation is installed on SAP Server.
Here is the problem?
The shipping users have a desktop which has SAP B1 client. That desktop also has IDAutomation fonts installed.
Shipping personnel logs into SAP B1 with the same id that worked on SAP Server, the report prints okay just the first time after it was saved in SAP Server through crystal report edit and save. Next time they log out of SAP client and log back in with same shipper ID, the report does not pick up the UPC IDAutionation fonts. It comes out as some stange text.
The fonts are present in control panel fonts on both server and desktop.
I called IDAutiomation support, they could not help besides saying, put the fonts on both server and client, which I have already done. He also said, there were crystal report runtime issues with fonts?
Could someone help me out here. What am I missing? I even tried installing full crystal report on the desktop and it did not get resolved. Customer is quite desperate to get this resolved.
Thank you,
Syed
