Hi All,
In our few Dev system font is maintained for the Smartform creation. Now we have to configure for few more systems.Let me know how to maintained in SE73?

Hi Dheen,
Please refer SAP Note 1132685 - Deletion of Arial True type font used in Payment/ETP summary
Here they have specified steps on Arial font maintenance. You can follow the steps for your required font.
Additional information can be found in threads

Hope this helps.

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.

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 maintain font appearance when opening a PDF?

I have a single PDF which I need to import in to illustrator. The fonts used in the PDF are not available but I don’t need to edit the text so hopefully no worries – I just need to add a reference number and export out to PDF again.
The problem is that illustrator substitutes the font. Is there a way for it to just outline the text instead?
Mattius

Is there a way for it to just outline the text instead?
Yes, there is.
Instead of opening the PDF in Illustrator, start a new document then place the PDF. Then flatten transparency. This will give you outlined text with the appearance of the original embedded font.
A drawback to this method (other than losing live text) is that you can end up with a significantly larger PDF file if there is a lot of text. This is because vector path representation is not nearly as efficient as using type to form text.

Would like to know what your scenario is. Identifier would be required to be maintained in the Party (created in SAP PI) when the scenario is Inbound.
It is actually the Partner Number for the Partner Profile created in we20 of the sAP ECC system. (you may have to store it as KU or LI) in SAP system.

How to maintain TFACS table (Factory calendar) into SAP BI

Hi,
I deal with a daily stock infocube and I would like to set a flag when the warehouse doesn't work (on holiday).
to do this, I would like to use the factory calendar (TFACS), and I have 2 questions:
1) How to maintain the TFACS table into SAP BI ?
2) How to use the TFACS data into SAP BI ? In other words, How to convert the TFACS data values in date ?
Thx.
Radj.

1.
rsa1(source-systems) --> right-click on the source system you load from --> transfer global settings --> flag 'factory calendar' and 'rebuild' or 'update tables'
2.
use function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE.
it returns workingday_indicator (initial if it's a worling day) that you can use as a flag, or it also returns the next working day.
you can use this function module in the transformation in the field routine of the flag...i think this is the best option.

In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

Dear Experts,
In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports output how to change font size and font type.
Regards,
Zaker.

These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

How do i add new font to sap(smartform)

hi, all!
now, i have one thing to be solved!
i'm using smartforms for developing form program.
i can't find what i want to use new font in sap.
so i added new font to sap using se73 t-code. but some are missing, for example i can't use bold...
so, if anybody have these experience... tell me how to...
best regards,
gy cho.

hi,
For SE73, on screen
There is a button 'True Type-Font Importian'.
On pressing this button you will go to next screen.
Give unique name of font and .ttf file of your computer.
If you select Bold or Italic, select different font file respectivly.
and Execute.
Fonts are centralized for SAP.
if you are not authorized to do cross-client activity, it will not allow you.
Usually Basis Team does this for developers.

How to maintain mulitple versions of universe

We are planning multiple projects related to BO reports and each project is going in different time.
How to maintain 2 versions of Universe, when we migrate universe for the Project 1 which is going ahead of the Project 2, I don't want to show the Classess, Objects of Project 2.
Currently I am hiding the classess which goes later. But is there any feature in BO to maintain multiple versions.
I am thinking of maintaining a good documentation on what am I adding, modifying, deleting for the project 2 and apply those changes to Project 1 related Universe and deploy when we migrate the universe for Project 2.
But, I see lot of work will be duplicated as well as lot of documentation, and overtime it becomes a night mare.
Anybody was in similar situation, and how did you handle it.
Currently we are using BO XI R2, and planning to migrate to XI 3.0 in near future.
Anybody know BO has any best practices document on this kind of situation ?
Thank you in advance for your time.

when you are talking about versioing , starting form XI 3.1 SAP business objects released the BusinessObjects LifeCycle Manager for XI 3.1
