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 Import Windows Fonts

Hello Everyone
I am new to managing fonts and am in the process of designing a web site for someone who uses Windows not OSX. He really likes their Broadway font. I don't have this no my iMac. I have been searching all over the forums but can not see a thread that explains how to export all the Windows fonts off a PC I have running XP to my iMac. I am in the process of downloading a trial copy of Suitcase as many threads mentioned this as the application to do it (still not sure myself though).
It would be great if I could move copies of all the fonts that my PC has over to my Mac so that I don't run into this issue in th future. Can anyone provide me with the step by step guide to doing this?
Many thanks in advance
David

Hi David -
Although Suitcase is a fine app you don't need it for this as long as the fonts are compatible. Most TrueType & OpenType fonts are, but I would hesitate to simply try to use all - especially since some are already on both... such as those included with MS Office & certain other apps.
On the PC access the Fonts folder through an explorer window, copy the desired font(s)to a folder on the desktop. Either copy/move that to a USB drive or other sharable media - or email them to yourself as an attachment. When you open the folder on the Mac those that are usable will have a recognized icon - any with a generic icon you can assume are not Mac-compatible.
Drag the good ones to your User fonts folder or use Font Book/Suitcase to install the fonts. I'd suggest doing so a few at a time & launch a program between goups to insure there isn't any 'hiccup'. That way it's easier to narrow down the culprit if there is a problem.
Just try to avoid duplicates & don't be surprised if Word as well as other programs take a little longer to launch the first time afterwards if you install a lot of new fonts.

Font while printing Smartform

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to display Large Font size in Smartform. I am able to display the same for the PRINTER in print preview.
But when i print the smartform, the font is printed in very small size.
I think it is because the printer is not supporting the font.
Please let me know the workaround for such problem.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Prashant

method for font size....
Define the paragraphs & character formats using SMARTSTYLES & use them in your smartform.
You have to give the smartstyle name in the Form attributes-->Output options for the formats to be used in your smartform.
frm ur pc only u can get this font file..
go to control panel , in tat go to font and select your desired font file..
now give the path of this font file in se73..
after doing that this file will be uploaded into ur SAP server.
Se73 - > True type font installation - > Font name - > specify the name of the font file - > execute

How to Import customized internal table to smartform from Print Program

Hi Gurus,
I want to Import customized internal table to smartform from print program, Can anybody tell me how it is possible.
With regards,
S.Saravanan

There is no problem passing an internal table to a smarforms, smartforms have the same interface as a function module ([Defining the Form Interface|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1c/f40c5bddf311d3b574006094192fe3/frameset.htm] in [Smart Forms|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm]) so could you elaborate a little more on your requirement (is it a standard a custom forms, etc.)

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.

Printing QR-Code barcodes in SAP smartforms

Hi,
Is it possible to print QR-Code barcodes in SAP smartforms using system barcode font? Can anybody please let me know the font settings for QR-Code in SE73 font maintenance?
A sample QR-Code lablel can be found [here|http://images.orkut.com/orkut/albums2/ATUAAADhaahG5MxsqQ66lcSO9oHRWD3X8zh7yv1kEakKwMtVHchChN1WfZlM__2D0_o8H7AS4_UaTTCymQQtvXHb9-q3AJtU9VCWnzkZ4gC1sVnCekVuQ90qmhzeMw.jpg].

Hi Milan,
I'll blog in SDN about my research that I presented at TechEd during session CD119 (blog) but I'll begin sharing with you some ideas.
Basically, without relay on any printer specific driver I would propose to follow the following steps:
1.Generate the QR Code image file (.PNG) with one of the methods presented in the following pages
2.Upload the image into the SAP system
2.1 Convert the generated file (file.png) to TIFF using SAP IGS class CL_IGS_IMAGE_CONVERTER (see GRAPHICS_IGS_IMGCONV_DEMO)
2.2.Upload. Use report RSTXLDMC to upload the image into SE78
3.Include the image into the Form:
3.1.SAPScript/:INCLUDE ZHEX-MARCO-name OBJECT TEXT ID ST
If everything is clear, the missing point should now be the first one. To generate the PNG from ABAP I found some options if you like, the better I think is presented in my open source project called abap2qrcode published here http://code.google.com/p/abap2qrcode/.
I know it's not trivial and I'm curious to know what do you think about it.

Add missing fonts in SAP System

Hello,
There is fonts option on sap easy access screen
Customize Local Layout (Alt + F12) --> Font (I18N)
Here we can see some fonts.
My question is can we add Fonts here, because Fonts like Tahoma, TimesNewRoman, Verdana are not listed in that list.
If yes How can we do so?
I know we can add fonts in SAP system via SE73 which can be used in SmartForms etc. But how to add fonts in above mentioned path?
Regards,
Abhay

Hi Abhay,
It should be installed on your desktop , if its there you can use these.
Its not SAP specific , i have checked i am able to use all fonts which are installed in my desktop.
You can check for installed fonts at control panel and then fonts.
You can try to add new font and then use.

Import PE51 Form to SAP Script

Hello Experts,
I am Importing PE51 form to SAP Script.The Problem is after Executing the Program RFFOUS_C the PE51 form is coming...into SAP Script But it(PE51 Form) is Compressing?.I don't know why?.But when i executing the Program RPCDTCU0_CE.The PE51 Form is Showing Exactly..without any Compression.
In Searching the Forum i have found these threads..But in these threads i haven't found any Solution
Integration of SAP Script form and HR Form
PE51 - Form Editor
Thanks in advance.

Hey ankur,
Normally you get dashes instead of line because of two reasons:
1. Because the Font Size you are using for the Line is Small hence it cannot print a continous Line..
Please increase the Font Size and try checking in the Layout.
2. Sometimes the SAP printer you have configured does not support the Font Type You have used in Scripts...
Kindly check T-CODE SPAD to see the Device type of the printer you are using supports that font.
Hope this helps you...Have a nice day at work..
Thanx,
Navin....

How to Import XML file into SAP B1

Dear All,
I have a scenario like,
I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Thanga Raj K

Hy folks,
I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
Could you please help me with this subject!
Thanks a lot,
Denis

How can I grant users to access/modify system folders (C:/Windows/Fonts) by using GPO in Win7 ?

In our company there are some folks that require often new fonts that they take from the internet. Unfortunately, some of them have offices on in a diferrent country, so going there to insert my admin paswoord is not a solution.
If you copy the ttf file into the C:/Windows/Font folder is enough, you don't have to also add the registry.
One way to bypass the window that asks for admin credentials is to insert my crdentials into the bat file (runas). But this is very unsecure, as I am an administrator.
Is there a way to create a shared folder that can also store fonts that can be used by windows? Can I give them the right to modify files in this folder without making them administrators? Or do you see any solution to this issue? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Another solution which will not compromise your security is to create a share folder and have the users to download fonts to the folder. After that a simple schedule task GPO on clients to copy the
*.ttf files from the folder to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Since tha task can be run by administrative privileges I guess there will be no problem.

How can I print a LabView report using the printer font (not a windows font)?

My printer is connected via a com interface. For speed reason I have to use the font of the printer. I use the report generation VIs to generate my report. With the VI "Set Report Font.vi" its possible to choose a font but I think only windows fonts are accepted.
Printing from "WordPad" using printer fonts is no problem, just select font "15 CPI" for example. But how does it work with LabView?

Have you already tried this in LabVIEW? What results did you receive when you tried it?
