Please read the new Oracle white paper on migration of client/server forms to Forms9i. Java supports only very limited number of font, e.g., Sarif, SansSarif. There are some ways to add some specific fonts as indicated in this document.

Font problem in Forms 10g

We are upgrading an application(forms and reports) from 6i to 10g. We are testing the application from 10gDev. Suite. The forms in 6i contains certain fonts like Arial Narrow (Western),Wingdings (Western),Arial(Western),Terminal,Tahoma,Fixedsys,Times New Roman (Western). When the form is ran from web, the fonts are not coming up correctly (font in layout is different from web version).
I followed the forums here and added the font mapping in registry.dat, but still the fonts are not coming up correctly in web. Can some one help me how to configure the fonts in 10gDS?
Foll. is the entry from the registry.dat file
default.fontMap.appFontnames=Courier New,Courier,courier,System,Terminal,Fixed,Fixedsys,Times,Times New Roman,MS Sans Serif,Arial,Arial Narrow (Western),Wingdings (Western),Arial (Western),Terminal,Tahoma,Fixedsys,Times New Roman (Western)
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,Dialog,MonoSpaced,Dialog,Dialog,Serif,Serif,Dialog,SansSerif,Arial Narrow (Western),Wingdings (Western),Arial (Western),Terminal,Tahoma,Fixedsys,Times New Roman (Western)
Thanks in advance.

Our application too uses wingdings font as a label on button. Its displaying boxes and workarounds in metalink notes Note:243034.1 and Note:454102.1 are not bearing fruits. Does anyone have solution.
One alternative is to make the buttons iconic and create ico/gif file for the character placed as label, but the fact that our application has hundreds of forms is a matter of concern.
If anyone knows the exact solution to this problem, pls help out.

Fonts problem with forms on web

Hi
I have deployed an application developed in forms 6i on web. I have strange problem with Arabic fonts. When I browse the application from win'98 client PC I have no problems. When I browse the same with win2000 pro client PC, I have problem with fonts. Characters get displayed properly but they get displayed from left-to-right. Text on some buttons/display items is ok but some buttons/display items have above said problem in same form. Strange problem.
Please help to overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance
Syed

Hi again - i logged to metalink and saw, that there is a workaround for this.
The problem is solved, when I edit the form's package and comment the RETURNING clause.
It is simple for me, but if I give to other the ability to create forms, should I repair every of them ?
Is there a patch for this ? The problem with dblinks and forms is old, isn't it ?
Thanks for explanation.

Hai Mohit,
Well, I am not sure if my answer is correct, but I
think the fonts in WindowsNT/95 are different when compared with
the Unix based ( HP, Sun, IBM-AIX, SCO).For example the default
font in WindowsNT/95 would be MS Sans Serif but you will not
find this font in Unix OS. Then in that case if you generate the
form in Unix then it will take the font that equal to or nearly
equal to it. So if you have a form with MS Sans Serif font it
would be converted in Courier New font as it the default font in
most Unix OS. I think you can find some info. about this in
Developer 2000 manuals.

Problem with Consolas font in a form

I have problem with Consolas font in a form in latest Adobe Reader (v11.0.9)

Can somebody check PDF for errors or warnings?

Make sure, all your paragraph format have the same font family... This may be bacuase your PO form is picking data from different elements which has different paragraph formats.
Ex:
/: 531
P1 XXXXXXXXXXXx
/: 538
P6 XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Should I use only standard fonts in pdf forms?

I am converting a lot of professional forms (contracts etc) into fillable and signable pdfs. The documents use flowering serif fonts like Book Antiqua, Garamond, etc. as this has a certain traditional elegant look for contracts but I am tempted to change all the fonts to either Arial or Times for 1) screen readability and 2) to prevent missing font errors when these forms are used or revised on various computers in the future. Not all computers have Garamond but all computers have Arial and Times New Roman.
Should I be using only common fonts in these forms? I need to make this decision before I create the pdfs. If it doesn't really matter, I'll retain the elegant looking fonts but if I can avoid problems in the future, I'll change the fonts.
Thanks for any advice on this.

Yes, I did mean in the form design. If someone uses the type tool to edit text in the future and the font isn't there it will give a missing font error. That could cause a headache in the future. Maybe I shouldn't be too concerned about that. (yes, I would use arial in the fields themselves.)
Also, a lot of the serif text in these documents is condensed and very small (7-9pt). Even at 9pts it's not as easy to read on the screen as Times. Screen-friendliness may trump elegant fonts.

Arabic font problem in Indesign cs4

I was using Indesign CS2 and just upgraded to CS4. I was heavily using "traditional arabic" font in CS2 without any problem.
For those who don't know, in arabic, each letter is represented differently according to its place inside a word. Almost all letters have 4 different forms, at the begining, in the middle at the end and alone.
After the upgrade I can insert only the letter at the begining form. I can clearly see all fonts in all forms in glpyhs table.
Any suggestion ?
Thank you

This not a locked Windows font because I was using it in Indesign CS2 without any problem.
In Help>About section all I see, is CS4 6.0. So this in not a Middle Eastern version.
For the moment I found the following solution :
I found an Open Type Arabic Font.
When I type something with this font "propositional forms" setting is set to "General", this is the default setting and I was unable to set "Automatic" as default. First I type something in Arabic then I select the text and set "propositional forms" setting to "Automatic".Yes it is a little bit cumbersome but this is the only solution I found.
I could send font files to anybody if you want to try them . It is not allowed to send them as attachment

Font problems when importind IFD files (JetForm)

Hello,
I have around 20 thousand IFD files that will have to be converted into PDF.
We are importing those files in LD Designer (having Output Designer installed on the same machine...) and having a lot of problems with special characters when translating the fonts - all the forms are in Brazilian Portuguese.
Even when importing those files in the same machine where the IFDs were developed, same problem occurs. And they are not fancy fonts, just Courier and Arial.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you for any hints!
Marcos

3) OmniPlan/Preview - When I create .pdf files of projects, words that have a double "f", such as Effort, Efficiency, Kickoff, etc. are created with either an exclamation point in place of the double "f" or a double quote mark. Even stranger, the same .pdf file saved on my computer can open either correctly or with the double "f" problem - it depends on the day.
This sounds like slightly different fonts are being used, where one is generating an ff ligature which the others do not have, or have something else at the codepoint used for that.

MICR font in Adobe Form

Hi All,
I am working on Adobe Form for A/P Check(Cheque) through F110 transaction. In Adobe Live cycle Designer(and in ADS), I don't see MICR font option in the list of available fonts. I know it's there in smartforms and Scripts. But how can I get the font in Adobe?
I already searched in the forum but didn't get any solution. I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Thanks!

I found these 2 threads (ADS Font Installation and Fonts problem) which say that you might add your font in designer.xdc or design.xdc file in \usr\sap\<systemid>\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\, and for windows, you may install in /winnt/fonts
There is also some [documentation for XDC fonts in Adobe support website|http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=001172.html]

10.1 Bar Code 3 of 9 Font Problem

We have several forms that use the bar code font 3 of 9. Since the 10.1 release the bar code has stopped rendering correctly. At the moment we are rolling back to 10.0.1 and that appears to resolve the issue however, it is a band-aid and I would like a real fix. Any advice is appreciated.

Looks like SKANDATA C39 Normal font. This form has two bar codes on the
bottom. One is static and that one works fine the other populates based
data entered into a form field and that is the one that breaks. It looks
more like multiple box's rather than a bar code after it populates.

Subject:        10.1 Bar Code 3 of 9 Font Problem
Which bar code font are you using, exactly? Have you tried a font from a
different vendor/creator to see if a different font works?
Some of the free bar code fonts are not the highest quality. Since they
are so simple and easy to make, quality can suffer if the creator is not
aware all the issues.

Leopard and font problems

I have had my fonts default to courier when
printing, just like the others who have posted notices in recent
weeks. I wish I had never installed Leopard because I use FH
daily-- I don't understand Illustrator even though I have it. I
THINK in Freehand. I know I can change all my fonts to paths or
print form the PDF preview mode BUT I don't want to have to do
that. Anyway, I have another issue. I do a newsletter once a month
and the editor sends me the articles cut and pasted into eMails. I
have copied, cut and pasted the articles into FH beautifully up
until Leopard. Now I get all those crazy weird characters.
Apostrophes become "i"s, quotation marks become exclamation marks
and spaces get crosses in them. I am ready to scream! I don't want
to reinstall Panther but I will if I can't fix these issues.
Anybody got any answers? is calling Adobe Customer Support a waste
of time?

For the garbled font problem you might try removing font
cache files.
FontNuke will do the job. You can download the latest version
here.

Embed Fonts in Designer Forms ?

Hi,
I would like to embed a font in a form. How can i do this and which font types can i embed (truetype,postscript,...) ?
Thanks for help.

Hi Paul,
I've attached both files.
maybe you can find the initial hint to solve this problem.
I don't think that it has to do with licenses, because in this case it should not be allowed to embed the fonts into a static document.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/8.2/static_dynamic_diffs.pdf explains the differences and on page 10 you can find the font topic

Embed Fonts savinf a form (pdf)

Hi,
Can someone tell me what is the difference from saving a form with or withour embed forms selected?
Without embed fonts selected, the form get smaller, what it is better, but what is the disadvantage?
Thank you

Hi Chris,
I know this is a dead discussion but I am having many problems with embedding. Basically (1), after saving as Dynamic PDF with fonts embedded and with permanently replace all fonts I still get weird replacements when the file is opened in Reader. Then (2), when I tried to replace all the substitutions with Arial and Times and NOT embed the PDF still shows some embedded fonts (Myriad, Franklin) when opened in Reader in doc properties. This seems Very buggy?! Is there any known issue and/or workaround. Thanks!
