Crystal Report XI R2 Default Font Problems

I have set the all the default font in all types to "Times New Roman" as requested by my supervisor (Although I dislike the font =.=)
It works correctly for generated field, new text objects or drop a new database field. But whenever I type text in the text object, the inputted text becomes Arial and messed up with other part of the report and I have to manually change it everytime which is really annoying.
In Crystal Report 10 the problem does not exist. Is there anyway to make the entered text follow the font of the text object or it is only a bug in Crystal Report ?
btw, I wish Crystal Report can support wider range of HTML Tag like ul, which should be easy to implement but do a great help in formatted remark field in the report. It makes me so disappointed when I found the supported tag didn't grow up after so many version. I will be very happy if anyone has a solution to support ul.

Hi,
Have a look inside the Options.  In the Fonts tab, make sure you've set the font for Text Objects correctly.
Good luck,
Brian

  • Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

    I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
    The problems I have encountered include:
    1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
    2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
    3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
    4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
    5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
    I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

    Hi,
    I have tried this code but stil the same.
    However i tried setup another tomcat and application in the other machine and the only job for  the application is exporting the report that has problem, then the error is gone.
    So i guess that is the memory size problem.
    Thanks for this
    One more question about the memory size between Tomcat and Crystal report.
    I have set in catalina.bat as
    set JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms2048M -Xmx1024M"
    and CRConfig as
    <JVMMaxHeap>1024000000</JVMMaxHeap>
    <JVMMinHeap>512000000</JVMMinHeap>
    1. Is that the correct setting.?
    2. The memory in the JAVA_OPT and is the MAX and MIN memory that java would use,
        then is the Max memory in CRConf is 1024M out of the java heap size or the application use another 1024 memory

    You said that you are using version XI R2 SP2 (for BO Enterprise)  - do you have any FixPacks on this codeline? (FP2.x)
    Question: If YES to above, have you made use of the equivalent FixPack for Integration Kit?  (known as "Partners Fix Pack 2.x ")
    There are a few fixes in this area, I was thinking like:
    ADAPT00716808 -  When scheduling a report from SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) that contains parameters from a hierarchy or a hierarchy node variable, the default values fail to be displayed from InfoView. >>
    ADAPT00894127 -  When users enter date parameters in the Calendar dialog box in SAP InfoView, the dates entered fail to appear in the corresponding field.

  • Crystal Report to PDF change fonts, cut text and change lines

    Post Author: jzwanziger
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Hello all, I am using Crystal Reports v10 and I created my report. The report works fine and the export function works fine in some particular servers. We were developing under Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 using Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1. We created the deployment and in our testing servers works fine (Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP these machines doesn't have any development tool).
    When we installed the same deployment (MSI) file in the customer Windows Server 2003, the exporting function to PDF or using it the Crystal Reports viewer doesn't work (Same worng thing that is displayed in the viewer is in the PDF). We had detected labels cut in the middle, some fields changed the font size or alignment and some lines move it up, down or growing. Obviously this looks like a environment problem, but we don't have any idea how to fix it, or what is missed.
    We tried to install, Windows Service Pack 2, install Acrobat Reader v8, verified the dll's, try to install the "dbex10win_en.zip" hot fix (we were not able to install it, setup file fail due some registry inconsistencies), Validate that the fonts are the same, and nothing fix the problem.
    Could somebody help us, we are a little desperate.
    thanks in advace for any idea.

    See [this|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=29094456&messageID=7206473] forum thread for possible clues to a resolution. In a nut shell, as long as the Calibri font is up to date, the other two steps are;
    1) Ensure you are using the latest Service Pack as suggested by Jonathan
    2) See what USP10.dll is loading (use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility)
    Also, if this is a win app, compile it to an exe and run the exe to see if the issue persists. (when running the app exe, the USP10 loaded should be from the CR bin directory. when running ion the .NET environment, the USP10 will load from win\system or other)

  • Crystal Report Viewer (SmartViewerActiveX/ActiveXViewer) barcode problem

    I am using the crystal reports viewer to show my reports in my asp website.
    In the reports, I have a barcode using the font source IDAutomationHC39M.ttf.
    This code must be a certain size that I indicated in my report design.
    The problem is that the viewer appears in the browser with the barcode expanded to full size, and not with the size that I indicated in report design.
    If I print from the program Crystal Reports, it appears according to the size indicated.
    It seems that this is a problem of the Viewer in the browser.
    Someone can help me? this matter is very urgent.
    Thank you.

  • Crystal Report Server Backup and Recovery problem

    I have a problem on the backup Crystal Report Server
    My Environment:
    - Windows Server 2003
    - Crystal Report Server XI R2
    - MySQL Database for Central Management Server System Tables(Default setting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
    - Tomcat (Default seting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
    I stop the Central Management Server before backup.
    I run the following command to backup Central Management Server System Table:
    mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 > C:\CMSBackup.sql
    It is ok to generate CMSBackup.sql file.
    After backup, I re-install the Crystal Report Server and run the following command to restore Central Management Server System Table:
    mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 < C"\CMSBackup.sql
    After finish the restore process, I cannot found my setting on the Central Management Server System.
    Any backup step i missed ?

    Any step i missed ?
    About the Output File Respository, Can i copy and paste the Input and Output File Repository ?

  • Getting the default font - possible? (default fonts problem in InDesign Server CS5)

    Is there a way to decide whether a font is used as "default font" for a document?
    Or a simple way to see whether a font is used at all?
    The actual problem is that InDesign server (CS5 ver. 7.0.3.533) returns the "default font" along with all other used fonts, when looping through the document.fonts collection. This becomes a problem when the default font is never used in the document, and is also not present. Then the (name of) the default font may also become meddled by a style that does not even exist for that very font.
    This is indicated as a problem in our application... as a missing font, just as the call to InDesign server reports back. But the font (with that style) doesn't even exist.
    Running the same script on an desktop InDesign CS5 (ver 7.0.4) the unused default font of the same document is not returned at all.
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    To get the default font, just check:
    app.activeDocument.textDefaults.appliedFont
    Obviously this didn't solve the problem, since InDesign server has made up a font name that is reported as missing... and it's not equal to the default font. So there is some lack of logic in my previous description.

  • Crystal Report Not Displying Proper Font

    <p>Hi Everyone, </p><p>I am Using Crystal Report .Net for Creating Reports. i have problem regarding font.. </p><p>first i have installed "Epson FX-2175 ESC/P" Printer on my Machine. second i have created on report. set the font to "Draft 10CPI" for all fields. now, i call this report from my .NET Application., and called successfully. but not displaying "Draft 10CPI" font., it displays the Ms Sens Serif or Courier New. Kindly do needful for the same. Tejas kishanwala </p>

    Sounds like you are trying to use the printer fonts (aka: device fonts).  Did you try to use the same font for a Label or TextBox control?  Did it render correctly?  Were you able to select the font for these controls from the Properties window?  If no to all, then you're probably running into a .NET limitation.  There is a document (which I can't seem to find at the moment) that described this type of scenario and how only certain types of fonts are supported by the .NET Framework.  Since the CR compnoents, specifically the viewers, are 100% managed components, they will have the same runtime limitations.
    To workaround, you will need to use a supported font type such as TrueType fonts.

  • Crystal Report 2008 export to text problem

    Hello,
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 for generating reports in our WPF application. In this application, we are exporting the report to txt file on a button click. Now the application contains a form called u2018Print Manageru2019, through which the user can print the exported report(text files). Now the issue, when we try to the any of the exported report file through the application, the printer leaves alternate blank pages. The printer used in this case is DOT MATRIX EPSON LQ-1150II ESC/P2. We even tried printing the text file on HP Laser jet 4600, but the same issue is faced.
    Also, please note that when I try to read the exported txt file, a formfeed(u2018\fu2019 page break) character  can be seen  at the place where the printer leaves a blank page. Hence, my concern is, Is there any property of crystal report that I am missing on or is this a printer driver issue? But if it would have been a driver issue, then changing the printer might have solved the issue.
    I also  tried  doing u2018Keep Togetheru2019 property = false of all the sections of the report. Also, I found that the u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = true and disabled for the u2018Page Footeru2019 section. So I set u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = false programmatically as
    rdTest.ReportDefinition.Sections["Section5"].SectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = false;
    but no luck.
    If anyone has faced similar problem or have any clues, please help!
    Any kind of help in solving this issue will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in anticipation!

    Good morning.
    We've got something to get straight first
    When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
    And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow   ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

  • Crystal Reports Viewer - pdf, prompts, icons problem

    Hi all,
    I am a new in BO.
    I have some answer about Crystal Reports Viewer (not about setup.exe but about CRV application that I uploaded on Tomcat)
    1) The old version (11.5) works good, only Export to PDF functionality is wrong. There are in the pdf file wrong display of specific czech characters (charset)
    2) A new version, Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, show the same pdf mistake. I have J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 and Apache Tomcat 5.5.9.
    I upload application on Tomcat, configuration (web.xml, crconfig.xml and context.xml) is the same with version 11.5.
    Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 displayed reports, but the problem with PDF is present. The second problem is the look of CRV. First one, the icons (for export, print...all icons) are not displayd. I can copy old jar files into java (in application folder C:\WebReports\WEB-INF\lib), but then CRV looks like old version.
    And CRV 2008 doesn't display listbox in dynamic prompt on crystal report. What shall I set to displaying prompts in CRV 2008 (on CRV or on report in Crystal 2008)?
    Have you some idea? What and how can I set and configure application and where?
    Veronika

    Hi,
    To confirm, are you talking about "Crystal Reports Viewer 2008" http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
    I suggest sending in the report, in the viewer, select "Help" - "General Feedback" and then pick the option to attach the report.  In a couple of months there will be a refresh version of this view which will have Czech language support so it would be good if we could test out your PDF issue.
    As for showing parameters in the prompt panel in Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, since the viewer cannot refresh the data, make sure the parameter does not used in the record selection formula but only in the saved data selection formula.

  • Crystal Report in an iFrame redirect problem

    Hi!
    I have built a page with a only Crystal Report on it, which I display in an iFrame on another page.
    I have a hyperlink on the page that is used to redirect the iFrame by assigning the iFrame a name and setting the target of the hyperlink to the iFrame. When the user clicks the hyperlink, it will redirect the iFrame.
    This all works fine up until the point at which you generate the actual Crystal report. After the report has generated, attempting to redirect the iFrame via the hyperlink causes a new browser tab/window to open. A few tests that I have run using Javascript or codebehind circumvent this issue, but as it stands I cannot use this method.
    This issue has only just arisen with the VS2010 version of Crystal Reports. The older versions do not have this problem.
    Research I have done into the issue have been fruitless and have tinkered with the Report Viewer itself a bit to no avail.
    Is there an explanation for this issue and/or a means of getting past this?
    Any help or nudge in a new direction is very much appreciated!
    Regards,
    Frank.

    Hello Frank:
    This issue has been reported to R&D for a fix (ADAPT01554950). At this time, the fix is targeted (not guaranteed) for Service Pack 3. ETA; mid 2012.

  • Crystal Reports Job Server - Default destinations not available

    Greetings,
    Currently I'm installing Crystal Reports XI onto a new server.
    When scheduling reports they are stuck in a 'pending' status which records the following error in the windows event log:
    Transport System exception for backend plugin DLL type newIJob():: Couldn't get IJob interface: CORBA exception! Object type is: CrystalEnterprise.Report and detail: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/UserException:1.0
    . Details: %2.
    After further investigation I discovered the Crystal reports job server has no defaul destinations, however the servers Destination Job Server and Program Job Server do have the default instances.
    Firstly I assume the error reported in the event log is due to there are no destinations, as the scheduler won't know where to send out to.
    Can anyone help in advising how to ensure the reports server had some default destinations?
    I have restarted the server and rebooted the Crystal reports server too.
    Thanks

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Trial Installation Problem

    I recently downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and ran into a problem with the installation key code sent to me.  During the install, I enter the keycode and the install application says it is invalid.  I'm attempting to install the Linux version on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2.  I know that this is technically not a supported version of Linux but I would not expect that cause a problem with the  key code.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
    Thanks...

    Hi Jeff,
    I would suggest you to install Crystal reports on supported platform only.
    To narrow down the issue you can try to install on other machine with supported environment so that it would be clear that the issue is with Keycode or not.
