How to create a font?

I designed a typeface in Illustrator but would like to make it a font that I can import into my font book. And then use in Illustrator. Does anyone know how to do this?

Would be a nice feature especially being tied to Adobe
I have to contradict you here. There are enough well-designed fonts out there, most of them of course commercial, and I don't really see the requirement for Adobe to have such a feature in any of their apps nor to turn this into a market. Simply put: creating a real good typeface is a lot of work, and as much as this may pain some people, just designing a few pretty curves is the least part of the exercise. A much bigger part is making those curves look good in any combination, make the font technically clean, manage kerning, hinting and specific Unicode features, even more so if it is meant for mass text. All of that way too complex for an average user, who, by all means should get there by rearranging his stuff inside Illustrator for more graphical use cases. And even if creating a font is required, it should not be too much to invest 99 USD into a simple converter like TypeTool that covers the basics... Still, even then your type may just look like many, many "free" fonts, that once used outside of the context they were initially created, can really make your eyes hurt. What Adobe perhaps could/ should provide is a simple way of storing contours in font files, such as Corel Draw does with its TTF export, but I wouldn't exactly call that creating re-usable type. It's really more a means of using vector shapes more generically for dingbats or logos...

Lipstick font type or how to create lipstick font type like in this image

looking to create a font type like this. Any suggestions how?
Thanks

Nothing will look as good as doing it by hand, so unless there were a lot of text, I'd do it that way.
Here's a nice font in that vein, though:

You could even try... cough... Mistral, but it will probably end up looking something of an 80s pastiche.

How to create PDF without embedded fonts from Indesign

Can anyone tell me how to create from Indesign a PDF that certainly does not contain any fonts I don't want to include? But that would appear in the same layout in a substituted font, including italics and small caps?

You can't, InDesign will embed the fonts for you.
To unembed fonts you need Acrobat Professional. Go to Tools>Print Production>Pdf Optimiser
go to Fonts
And select the fonts to unembed.
You could select any text and change the Transparency to 99.9%.
Then in Edit>Transparency Flattener make a new one using High as a base for the new
Select Convert Text to Outlines.
When you Export to pdf, choose Adobe PDF 1.3, and go to Flattening, choose the new Flattener Preset that you just made.
And when you export it, any text forced through the Flattener will be converted to outlines. (this could violate the terms of the Font Licencing.)

How create new font in sap

Hi,
We want use Times roman in our smart form.
i tried to load the fonts using spad and se73.
still it is not reflecting in the report.
regards,
viren.

Hi,
Apart from SE73 i think that you have to create a new print control, which will probably contain the name of the font in hexadecimal code. I am not very sure of that but you can find the following SAP note a bit helpful...
<b>SAP Note Number: 12462
How can I define a new printer font?</b>Version: 7, Note Language: EN, Released on: 28.08.1998
Symptom
Key word: Printer font
What settings have to be made to define a new font for an R/3 device type (that is, a new printer font) that can be used for SAPscript documentation output.
Additional key words
Printer, font, printer font, device type, fontmetrics, AFM file, SE73
Cause and prerequisites
You would like to use a new font on the printer.
Solution
General advice:
1. This procedure can be used only if the desired font is available on the printer (that is, installed on the printer itself, installed via font cassette, resident in the printer via softfont download or, in case of device type SAPWIN/WIN, installed on the Windows PC) and can be called with a short printer command (max. 29 bytes). This printer command is maintained in the print control.
Solution procedure:
1. The original SAP printer type used previously must be copied to a customer printer type with a name starting with Z... (see Note 3166 for reasoning behind this). The function "Utilities->Copy device type" from transaction SPAD (spool administration) is used for this.
Example: HPLJIIID is copied to ZHPLJ3.
2. A new print control SFxxx must be maintained for device type Z.... It contains in most cases the printer control commands for setting the desired font. To find out what this printer command looks like, refer to the printer manual and the print controls SFxxx already contained in printer definition Z... . A certain amount of knowledge of the printer language is a prerequisite. The xxx numbering of the SFxxx print controls is arbitrary.
NOTE: The exact contents of the SFxxx print controls depend on the SAPscript printer driver used. For information on this, consult the CD documentation ("Basis system administration printer handbook") and the field documentation (F1 help) for input field "Print control" in SE73, Printer font maintenance.
Printer driver HPL2 (PCL 5 printer):
SFxxx must contain the PCL 5 command for character set and print selection. CAUTION: As of Release 4.0A there are special rules which apply if the flag "Scalable font" is activated.
Printer driver POST (Post script printer):
SFxxx must contain the name of the Post script font, for example "Helvetica"
Printer driver PRES (Kyocera PRESCRIBE printer):
SFxxx must contain the PRESCRIBE command "FONT xx:" for font selection, for example "FONT 42;"
Printer driver SWIN (Windows print via SAPWIN/SAP1pd):
SFxxx must contain the Windows font name. CAUTION: As of Release 4.0A special rules apply if the flag "Scalable font" is activated for the printer font.
Printer driver STN2 (Target printer):
SFxxx must contain the complete command for the selection of the
character set, the increment, bold and italic print and font.
Print control SFxxx is defined for device type Z... in transaction SPAD under the heading "Print control for device type". Example: print control SF900 for device type ZHPLJ3 with replacement text (i.e. printer command)
1B28304E1B28733070313068313276307330623354 is created.
3. In the SAPscript font maintenance transaction SE73 under "Printer fonts", a new entry must be made for the desired font on the desired device type. The following information must be given:
     device type Z...
(printer type to which the font belongs)
     family   ....
(Font name used in R/3, for example COURIER, HELVE, LETGOTH, LNPRINT, TIMES)
     size      ...
(Font size 1/10 point, for example 240, for printer drivers that support scalable fonts, 000 is entered here)
     bold      .
(X if bold type, otherwise blank)
     italic    .
(X if italic type, otherwise blank)
     CPI       ..,..
(number of characters per inch (CPI)
If font is not a proportional font (for example HELVE,TIMES),
for example 05.00)
     PrtCtl 1 SFxxx
(Refer to field documentation (F1 Document) for exact meaning. The name of the 2nd created printer control is normally entered here.
     PrtCtl 2 SFxxx
Refer to field documentation (F1 document) for exact meaning. The name of the 2nd created printer control is normally entered here.
If the font is a proportional font (HELVE or TIMES), an AFM file that contains the width values for the individual characters in the font must be entered under "Printer fonts" in SE73. Direct maintenance of the AFM data is done from the list of printer fonts with Menu "Edit -> fontmetric using a menu function. To do this you place the cursor on the line with the newly created printer font and choose "Edit->Copy fontmetrics" on the menu. If you have created, for example, a new printer font
ZHPLJ3 HELVE 200 _ _
you can copy the metric of
ZHPLJ3 HELVE 160 _ _
here.
Releases before 3.0A do not have this menu function, and you must manually copy the AFM files from the group box to the new printer font via the XX.XX function in the AFM editor. Then the new AFM files can be checked for correctness (Menu "Fontmetrics ->Check") and saved.
As of Release 3.0 it is possible to establish a link to the fontmetrics of another device type or to a default (all characters with width 500) instead of copying the fontmetrics explicitly. You can check the correctness of the complete font definition in SE73 in the list of printer fonts with the function "Edit->Generate font def.".
4. As a final step, the device type of the output device used must be changed from the SAP original to the new printer definition Z... in transaction SPAD. This is done in SPAD under the heading "Output devices".
Example: printer LP05 previously had device type HPLJIIID and is now being given device type ZHPLJ3.

How to create printer specific font.

Hi,
I want to create printer specific font to print a script(cheque) on FI02 printer.
We have some Z..printer specific fonts in SE73 but I don't
find any create button there..how to create..help me out.
Regards
Sudha

Use SPAD transaction create ur own format.
other information
To upload font first locate ur file for that font in this case VERDANA,
normally u will find this file in C:\windows\font copy that file from there in
some other directory. then goto transaction code SE73 give ur font name
in SAP starting with Z and give ur font file path.

How to create the digital clock in java swing application ?

I want to create the running digital clock in my java swing application. Can someone throw some light on this how to do this ? Or If someone has done it then can someone pl. paste the code ?
Thanks.

hi prah_Rich,
I have created a digital clock you can use. You will most likely have to change some things to use it in another app although that shouldn't be too hard. A least it can give you some ideas on how to create one of your own. There are three classes.One that creates the numbers. a gui class and frame class.

Can you please provide some insight into this topci

Hello there
I have the same issue: chaging the background color of some column headers.
My application is using a custom skinning and when i had headerClass property with a custom class defined in a separate css file, the page generated specified first the class from the skinning and then my new class definition. But my skinning is specifying a background color so the color is not overriden. Any idea?
ADF code:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/pivot.css" id="myStyles"/>
<af:column headerText="#{level1.userObject.name}"
headerClass="inputHeader"
sortable="false" align="center" width="100"
id="col_level1" >
Generate HTML code:
<th align="center" class="xuh inputHeader" afrroot="true" rowspan="2" afrleaf="true" dindex="6" id="pt1:tableId:col_level1" style="">
<div class="x13t">AEKLF</div>
</th>
My CSS file:
.inputHeader{
background-color: Red;
background-image: none;
color: Black;
font-weight: bold;
Thanks for your help !

HOW TO: Create a GUI "Hello World"

</p>
This document describes how to create and run a very simple "Hello World"
Java GUI app using JDeveloper. The application will have one button and one
text field. Clicking the button will populate the text field with the message,
"Hello World!"</p>
Creating The New Application
In this section, we will create an application with an empty frame.</p>
<ol>
[*]Choose File | New Workspace.
</li>
[*]Choose File | Save Workspace.
</li>
[*]Enter <TT>HelloGui.jws</tt> as the name for the workspace.
This creates a Workspace called HelloGui. A workspace organizes all the projects
you need to work on at one time.
</li>
[*]Choose File | New Project.
The Project Wizard opens. This wizard will help you create a new project called
HelloGui. A project contains all the files that go together in one "tier"--for
example, all the files belonging to a single Java Application client, or all
the files belonging to an Enterprise Java Bean. Because we are working on
a simple, one-tier application, we will only need one project in our workspace.
</li>
[*]If the Welcome page appears, click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Project Type page, in the What is the Project's Filename?
field, change the filename to <TT>HelloGui.jpr</tt>. Leave the rest of the
path the same.
</li>
[*]Select A Project containing a new... and choose Application
from the dropdown list.
</li>
[*]Click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Project Options page, in the What is the name of the project's
default package field, enter <TT>helloGui</tt>.
</li>
[*]Click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Project Information page, you can enter any information about your
project that you wish.
</li>
[*]Click Finish.
The Application Wizard opens.
</li>
[*]In the Class field, enter <TT>HelloApp</tt>.
</li>
[*]Select the New Empty Frame radio button.
</li>
[*]Click OK.
The Frame Wizard opens.
</li>
[*]In the Class field, enter <TT>HelloFrame</tt>.
</li>
[*]Click OK.
JDeveloper creates an application, <TT>HelloApp</tt>, containing an empty
frame, <TT>HelloFrame</tt>. The source code for these classes appears in the
Navigator, which is the upper left-hand pane in the JDeveloper IDE.
</li>
[*]Choose File | Save All.</li>
</ol>
Adding a Panel to the Frame
In this section, we will now add a panel to the frame. In the next section,
we will add all the other components to this panel.</p>
<ol>
[*]In the Navigator, double-click <TT>HelloFrame.java</tt>.
A viewer opens. This viewer has four tabs at the bottom:
<ul>
[*]Source, the currently active tab, which displays the source code
of the selected class</li>
[*]Design, which invokes a visual layout designer</li>
[*]Class, which invokes an editor for the class' attributes, and
can help you stay JavaBean complient</li>
[*]Doc, which displays the class' JavaDoc
</li>
</ul>
</li>
[*]Click the Design tab.
The viewer now displays a grey square, a graphical mock-up of your frame.
Also, on the right-hand side of your screen, the Property Inspector opens.
This allows you to quickly set attributes and define events for components.
</li>
[*]In the component palette (the tabbed toolbar near the top of your screen),
select the Swing Containers tab.
</li>
[*]Click the blue square (described in rollover text as <TT>JPanel</tt>) and
click on your frame to add the panel.
The Property Inspector now displays attributes of the JPanel.
</li>
[*]In the Property Inspector, click twice inside the box beside the name
field.
</li>
[*]Change the name to mainPanel.
</li>
[*]Click the box beside the layout field.
</li>
[*]Choose XYLayout.
XYLayout is an easy-to-use Layout for prototyping. Later, we will change the
layout to a more portable one.</li>
</ol>
Adding Components to the Panel
In this section, we finish laying out a prototype UI. We will add polish and
portability to the UI later.</p>
<ol>
[*]In the Component Palette, select the Swing tab.
</li>
[*]Select the <TT>JTextField</tt> component, which looks like a text field
with a cursor.
</li>
[*]In your panel, click and drag the cursor to outline the text field.
Don't worry if the text field doesn't have exactly the right size or position.
We will adjust these later.
The Property Inspector now displays attributes of the JTextField.
</li>
[*]In the Property Inspector, change the name (just as you did for the
JPanel) to <TT>displayField</tt>.
</li>
[*]Change the text to nothing (erase the value that is already there).
</li>
[*]In the Component Palette, select the <TT>JButton</tt> component, which looks
like a button being clicked.
</li>
[*]In your panel, click and drag the cursor to outline the button.
The Property Inspector now displays attributes of the JButton.
</li>
[*]In the Property Inspector, change the name and action command
to helloButton.
</li>
[*]Change the text to <TT>Say Hello!</tt>.
</li>
[*]Choose File | Save All.</li>
</ol>
Wiring Up the UI
In this section, we wire the UI so that clicking the button causes "Hello
World!" to display in the text field.</p>
<ol>
[*]In the Property Inspector, select the Events tab.
</li>
[*]Click the box next to the Action Performed field and press the Enter
key.
This creates a method, <TT>helloButton_actionPerformed()</tt>, which will
be invoked when the button is clicked, and displays the source code for the
method stub in the viewer.
</li>
[*]In the viewer, add the following command to the body of the method:
<TT>displayField.setText("Hello World!");</tt>
</li>
[*]Choose File | Save All.</li>
</ol>
Testing the Prototype Application
<ol>
[*]Choose Run | Run "HelloApp".
Your application appears, with a blank text field and a button labeled "Say
Hello!"
</li>
[*]Click the button.
The text "Hello World!" appears in the text field.
</li>
[*]Close your application.</li>
</ol>
Refining the UI
In this section, we polish the UI so that the components have the right size
and alignment, the text in the text field shows up red, and the panel uses the
portable GridBag layout instead of the JDeveloper-specific XYLayout.</p>
<ol>
[*]In the viewer, select the Design tab.
</li>
[*]Select your text field.
</li>
[*]Drag the edges of your text field until it is the size you want.
</li>
[*]Drag the center of the text field until it is the vertical position you
want.
</li>
[*]Right-click the text field and choose Align Center.
This centers your text field horizontally in the frame.
</li>
[*]In the property inspector, click the box next to the foreground field.
</li>
[*]Click the ellipses (...).
A color editor appears.
</li>
[*]Select Red from the dropdown list.
</li>
[*]Click OK.
</li>
[*]On your frame, select your button.
</li>
[*]Drag the right edge of your button until it is the horizontal size you want.
</li>
[*]Select your text field, and multi-select your button by control-clicking
it.
</li>
[*]Right-click your button or text field.
</li>
[*]Choose Same Size Vertical.
This sets the height of all selected components to that of the first selected
component (the text field).
</li>
[*]Right-click your button or text field.
</li>
[*]Choose Align Center.
This aligns the center of all selected components to that of the first selected
component (the text field).
</li>
[*]Select your panel by clicking anywhere on the grey background in the visual
designer.
</li>
[*]In the Property Inspector, click the box beside the layout field.
</li>
[*]Select GridBagLayout from the dropdown list.
</li>
[*]Choose File | Save All.</li>
</ol>
Running the Finished Application From Within JDeveloper
<ol>
[*]Choose Run | Run "HelloApp".
Your application appears, with a blank text field and a button labeled "Say
Hello!"
</li>
[*]Click the button.
The text "Hello World!" appears in the text field, in red.
</li>
[*]Close your application.</li>
</ol>
Deploying the Application to Your File System
<ol>
[*] In the Navigator, right-click <tt>HelloGui.jpr</tt> and choose New Deployment
Profile.
The Deployment Profile Wizard opens.
</li>
[*]If the Welcome page appears, click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Delivery page, select Web Application or Command-Line Application
from the dropdown list, and click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Staging Area page, in the Deployment Destination field, enter
<tt><JDeveloper>/HelloGui</tt>, where <tt><JDeveloper></tt>
is your JDeveloper root directory. Click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Project page, select all the <tt>.java</tt> files and click Next.
</li>
[*]Skip the Archive page and Applet Tags page by clicking Next on each.
</li>
[*]On the Libraries page, shuttle all libraries from the Project Libraries
list to the Deployed Libraries list, and click Next.
</li>
[*]On the Finish page, name the profile <tt>HelloGui.prf</tt>, and click Finish.
</li>
[*]When JDeveloper asks you if you want to deploy now, click Yes.</li>
</ol>
JDeveloper will archive your application files and copy this archive and all
other required libraries to <tt><JDeveloper>/HelloGui</tt>.</p>
Running the Application from the Command Line
<ol>
[*]Open a command-line prompt.
</li>
[*]Enter the following script.
Note: You may want to create a batch file containing this script. Be
sure to replace JDeveloper_Home with your JDeveloper home directory.
<pre>set __CLASSPATH_ROOT_DIR__=JDeveloper_Home\HelloGui
set CLASSPATH="%__CLASSPATH_ROOT_DIR__%\HelloGui.jar"
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;"%__CLASSPATH_ROOT_DIR__%\xmlparserv2.jar"
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;"%__CLASSPATH_ROOT_DIR__%\classes12.zip"
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;"%__CLASSPATH_ROOT_DIR__%\jdev-rt.zip"
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;"%__CLASSPATH_ROOT_DIR__%\swingall.jar"
cd JDeveloper_Home\HelloGui
jre -cp %CLASSPATH% helloGui.HelloApp</pre>
</li>
[*]Your application appears, with a blank text field and a button labeled "Say
Hello!"
</li>
[*]Click the button.
The text "Hello World!" appears in the text field, in red.
</li>
[*]Close your application.</li>
</ol>
</p>

How to create paragraph format in smartforms

Hi All,
Let me know how to create paragraph format in smartforms?
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi
When we create a smartform we can see in <b>global settings</b> , <b>form attributes</b>.
In <b>form attributes</b> we set the over all style of the smartform. Goto <b>form attributes</b> and open the tab <b>output options</b>. Here you can see the <b>Style box</b>. In this style box we enter the smartstyle created in transaction code <b>smartstyles</b>.
Open transaction <b>smartstyles</b>.
Create a new style.
Upon creating a new style you will see 3 folder structures under style name.
1. Header data
2. Paragraph format
3. Character format
To create paragraph format right click on the paragraph format node and click Create Node. Give it name. Now you will get a screen with 4 tabs.
Indents and spacing
Fonts
Tabs
Numbering and outline
Here you can provide the look you want.
Now add this smartstyle in your smartform's form attribute.
You can also provide individual smartstyles to each text element you create by giving the name of smartstyle in its output options tab. Each text element has a individual output option tab here you can give any smartstyle.
Click on the general attribute tab of any text element and give the paragraph format directly or by going to SAPScript editor mode.
Any more questions you can ask me directly mailing me.

How to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report?

This thread is a follow-up to {message:id=9191195}. Thanks fac586.
Partial success: The following code provided by fac586 limits the column width of the Apex 4 interactive report column as long as the column data contains whitespace within a Firefox 3.6 browser:
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. The code above is put into the HTML header section for the page.
2. T_DESCRIPTION is defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I tried adding "float: left;":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
<font color="red"> float: left;</font>
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. "float: left;" does not require whitespace and successfully splits the column between characters in lieu of whitespace.
2. "float: left;" shrinks the cell height and allows the page background to show through... couldn't determine how to fix this.
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I've done some more research, but I still haven't discovered how to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report that displays properly within an Internet Explorer 7 browser.
Any ideas and help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your help with this!
<pre class="jive-pre">
what theme are you using?
</pre>
A customized version of theme 15.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Floating a table cell makes no sense (to me anyway).
</pre>
You are correct. I was just trying a different approach ... trying to think out of the box.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Think you'll need to create an example on apex.oracle.com with sample data
if there are any further problems.
</pre>
Great suggestion! The code your provided works in the Firefox 3.6.12 browser, but still doesn't work within my Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
UPDATE:
I have recreated the problem at apex.oracle.com, you can use the following information to check it out:
URL: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43543:100::::::
Workspace: IR_FIXED_WIDTH_COLS
Username: GUEST
Password: Thx4help
Application: 43543 - CM_RANDY_SD
Note: Table name is TEST_DATA
The following code provided by fac586 works in both Firefox 3.6 and IE7 using default theme "21. Scarlet" at apex.oracle.com; however, it doesn't work when I use a copy of our customized theme "101. Light Blue":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
max-width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
max-width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>

</pre>
Any idea what in the theme could be causing the fixed width column to be ignored in IE 7?

How to create a dyanamic query in PL/SQL from XML

Hi Forum,
I am having an XML file with tags. I am controlling my JSP page layout with these tags and it is working fine. But I need to send the Orange colour nodes to a pl/sql in the JSP page to construct the query as per the XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Jobmanage>
<Customer name="StGeorge">
<Column>
<Name>QM_NUMBER</Name>
<Title>Job Number</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
<Font>Arial</Font>
<Size>10</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<cloumn1> QM_NUMBER <column1>
</Column>
<Column>
<Name>QM_JOB_STATUS</Name>
<Title>Job Status</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
<Font>Arial</Font>
<Size>105</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<column2>QM_JOB_STATUS</column2>
</Column>
<Column>
<Name>QM_USER_STATUS</Name>
<Title>User Status</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
<Font>Arial</Font>
<Size>10</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<column3>QM_USER_STATUS</column3>
</Column>
</Customer>
</Jobmanage>
The select statement I am using n the JSP page is
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >= SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH))
Can you give me instructions how to create the above SQL statement dynamically as per the XML file. I want the select statement in a pl/sql
BEGIN
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >= SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH))
END
So, when ever the columns hirerachy changed in the XML file it should show theat effect in the PL/SQl. Thats hoe I am aiming to develop.
Thankx for you time.
Cheers,
Krishna

I want the select statement in a pl/sql BEGIN
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS
IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >=
SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH)) ENDThat doesn't make sense. Such a plsql block would not compile. What is your final goal you want to achieve with this?

How to change the font size and style on run time

dear all
i try to change the font style and font size on runtime. I did the following:
1- i created an item(:font_size) in which i will write the size of the font for the the other item ('customer_name')
2 on the post_change trigger for 'font_size' i write this code
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('customer_name',FONT_size,(:font_size);
i write 12 then then font size changed , then i write 18 , the size does not change. and when i write any value , no change happens. I do not know why
the second problem is how to change the font style
i made three checkbooks (bold,italic,underline)
on the trugger when_checkbox_checked i write
     IF :BOLD = 'B' THEN
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('N_SAMPLE',FONT_STYLE,'BOLD');
     ELSE
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('N_SAMPLE',FONT_STYLE,'REGULAR');
     END IF;
no change happend at all.
please help

Hi friend,
it's a really really strange tip... May be it's a Forms bug? I've tried with set_item_property..and.. you're right, it doesn't work..
So.. you can try making this:
- create a visual attribute with an specific font size....
- use the
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('block.item',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'you_visual_attribute');
and call it from psot-change....
It works
Hope it helps,
Jose.

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:
