Variable printed using incorrect font - Sapscript

Hi,
I am using a Sapscript form to print a document. I am printing a variable using a A_SIMP font. When I try to print 2 diff documents each of this document prints the text in either Courier or Times. I want it to be repalced by either Courier or Times and not either or. I tried changing the replacement font for A_SIMP but it does not work.
The paragraph format used does not define any font. I am using a character format which has the A_SIMP font defined. I am using frontend printer and the devide type does not include A_SIMP font in it.
Thanks,
Vivek

Hi Aidan,
I wanna know what did you mean with "You must also tell the SAP system the name of the Windows font" ?
I have a similiar problem but mine the text in the smartforms strike by #
I have installed the fonts in 4.7, but when I upgraded it to Ecc6.0 the font is still exist, but the text displayed is being striked with #.
I have checked like you have said in SE73, my font family is ZCORSIVA and the RTF Text is FONT Monotype Corsiva. is there something wrong with it?
many many thanks
@addition :
I have changed the RTF Text from FONT Monotype Corsiva to Monotype Corsiva (TrueType). But it didn't work. any idea?

Cheque printing using MICR fonts on HP P3005n series

Hi,
I am doing a HCM implementation on ERP 6.0 ehp3 server. We need to print cheques using the MICR fonts on HP P3005n printer.
I found that MICR_C and MICR_E fonts are already installed in the system. But when we try to print, the MICR characters are not getting printed.
I have tried with different device types like TROYMICR, HPLJMI, HP5MI, ZHPP3005 but no luck. The printer uses the toner MICR-THN-51A
Where could be the problem? Do i need to do some more configuration in SAP or is printer needs to be configured?
Please help me as we are in testing phase and as the cheques are not printed we are stuck.
Is it necessary to use TROY or Jetmobile printer to print MICR characters?
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Naithan,
If you are facing this problem pls install HP default printer in SAP. I hope you will not getting this problem.
Can you tell me the cheque prining setting in DMP printer or Laser printer. Please check this with your abaper programmer. If setting in DMP then you have to use DMP printer.

OpenOffice uses incorrect fonts if GTK theme is set via .gtkrc-2.0

I've just noticed this problem now that I'm using awesome standalone... Whereas my other applications all are set to use nice, small Dejavu Sans fonts, OOO fonts in menus, etc. are not Dejavu Sans and are huge. Using OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="Gnome" doesn't seem to affect this. How do I force OOO to comply with my font settings?

I seem to recall having to add a font override in OOo preferences for the interface font with older versions. I'm not sure if this works with the newer version. Also, I don't recall what the name of the font that needs overriding is.

Firefox is using incorrect font, how do i fix it when i cant read even the dialog boxes

i cannot paste a screen shot here. firefox is is using small boxes instead of text, that may be ascii codes.

So Firefox worked normally before the malware cleanup? You might want to reinstall Firefox (without removing the current version) and see whether that corrects it.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download Firefox 5 from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
Close Firefox and run the installer. Does that fix it?
If not, you might need to create a new Firefox profile to work around some bad settings or corruption.
You can start the profile manager using the method described in this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
After creating the new profile, if Firefox is working again, you can move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Any luck?

I upgraded to Firefox 6 random websites are using illegible fonts from my computer instead of the default. No issues with Firefox 5 or any other browser I use. Each time I open Firefox or reinstall it a different illegible font appears. Please help.

Firefox 6 using incorrect fonts.

When I delete the font that keeps showing up as the default, a new illegible font appears. The fonts are not 'garbled' they are just decorative typefaces that are being grabbed from my computer. I have never had an issue with my fonts on old Firefox versions or other browsers like chrome, safari, etc., so I don't think the issue is my fonts. I also don't want to have to delete all the fonts off of my computer. I uploaded another photo of when I deleted the font that was appearing before. Please help if anyone has found a solution to this problem with Firefox 6+ :/

Firefox 3.6.9 / Windows 7 will not print using font specified with @font-face - any workarounds?

I've seen a few mentions of this problem around the interwebs, but can't find a resolution. I used [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator fontsquirrel's font-face generator] to prepare different versions of a font for cross-browser display. Screen presentation in almost all browsers is fine, and almost all browsers print the embedded font as well - except for Firefox/PC (3.6.9/Windows 7).
I have tried inline styles, styles inside of the head, and external stylesheets, all with and without media type print. What can I do?

Hi John,
Can u try the work around mentioned in the below link
http://notsomany.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/jinitiator-working-on-windows-7/
Also some times IE8 can block the webutil_file_transfer.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Incorrect Fonts When "Printing" Webpage to .pdf

When I "print" a webpage to a .pdf file, I occasionally get an incorrect font. For example, if I print a Wikipedia page, the font in the saved file will be Times New Roman. The font on the webpage looks to be Arial. I'm assuming it is a setting in the Adobe Printer preferences. I just can't seem to find the right setting. Any help is appreciated.

If the web page does not have a printable view option (a print button or printer icon that you can click on), then it is formatted for screen only. These types of sites often do not print nicely. The only alternative, is to try and select the parts that you want to print and then copy and paste them into a word processor or text editor for printing.

Using system fonts for commercial printing?

Hi,
Does anyone know the licensing rights/usage for using system fonts for commercial printing? If I understand correctly, system fonts that comes from operating system CAN be use because Apple purchase the rights on them and end users that purchase OS can use these fonts freely as long as not we are not redistributing them for profit, etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with official documentation on the subject?
Thanks!

Never mind, I found the answer. It's in Apple's OS EULA.
"E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included
with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however,
you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions
accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font

Using device fonts for printing

Hello,
I was wondering how to use device fonts in Java. These are the fonts that are in the printer and not in the operating system.
I'm writing some point of sale software that needs to use the Star TSP100 printer on Windows 7 64.
I need to use the device font "control" in order to instruct the printer to open the cash drawer.
I would also like to use the device font "3of9" for barcodes. I know there are alternatives to using this, but directly from the printer would be easier than trying to purchase and deploy a barcode font.
I know that star micronics has a JPOS implementation, but not for windows 7 64. And the JPOS with the StarMicronics bin is cumbersome and unstable for the end user even in Windows XP 32 bit.
If I specify the font "control" java replaces it with the default font. i.e. Font deviceFont = new Font ("control", Font.PLAIN, 8.5); is just the default font and not "control"

I did find a solution to my problem, but I cannot use device fonts. You may also find this useful to address your issue. I opened the a print service and sent ASCII to it instead of creating and printing a graphic object. You'll need the [Command Emulator STAR Line Mode Command Specifications|http://www.star-micronics.co.jp/eng/service/usermanual/comemu_starline_pm.pdf] to know what the commands are for the TSP100 and TSP700. I've included a cheat sheet to find the HEX value of the ASCII command. Note that if you need to send several characters you'll need to use the space with it.
e.g. The command to select font is ESC RS F you'll need to send: 1B201E2046

Why is getLineMetrics inaccurate when using device fonts* or immediately after resizing a TextField?

1. We need getLineMetrics to return correct values immediately after changing a TextField's width/height or any property that would affect the layout metrics, withouth having to alter other properties like setting the text to itself (p1.text = p1.text). Currently, if you change the width of a text field to match the stage width for example, getLineMetrics will not return correct values until the next frame.... UNLESS you set the text property.
2. We also need some kind of "stage scaled" event in addition to the "stage resize" event (which only fires when stage scale mode is no_scale), because stage scaling affects the rendered size of device fonts so dramatically that we must call getLineMetrics again. This is not the case for fonts antialiased for readability, since their size is relatively stable with scaling, as demonstrated by drawing a box around the first line once and then scaling the stage.
So those are the problems. The asterisk in the title of this post is there because it seem that TextField.getLineMetrics is accurate with device fonts, but I cannot take advantage of that accuracy without a way to detect when the player is scaled. I can only confirm its accuracy at a 1:1 scale, since there is no way to recalculate the size of the line rectangle once the player is scaled, aside from setting a timer of some sort which is a real hack not to mention horribly inefficient with no way to detect when the stage has actually be scaled.
I use device fonts because embedded fonts look terrible and blurred compared to device font rendering. The "use device font" setting matches the appearance of text in web browsers exactly. The only way to get embedded/advanced antialiased text in flash to approximate that of the device font look is to primarily set gridFitType to PIXEL instead of SUBPIXEL, and secondly set autokerning to true to fix problems caused by the PIXEL grid fit type. That ensure strokes are fitted solidly to the nearest pixel, however it still lacks the "ClearType" rendering that device fonts use, which has notable color offset to improve appearance on LCD monitors, rather than the purely grayscale text that flash uses in its subpixel rendering. Frankly, failure to use device fonts because of API issues, is the only reason why Flash sometimes doesn't look as good as HTML text and why people say text in Flash "looks blurry". I'm tired of hearing it. If the player simply dispatched an event when scaled and updated the metrics immediately when any property of the text field that would affect the metrics is changed, then we could all happily use device fonts and Flash text would look great. As is stands, because of the two problems I mentioned in the opening paragraph, we're stuck dealing with these problems.
If you create two text fields named "p1" and "p2" for paragraph 1 and 2, populate them with an identical line of text and set one to "use device fonts" and the other to "antialias for readability", then use this code to draw boxes around the first line of text in each of them:
import flash.text.TextField;import flash.text.TextLineMetrics;graphics.clear();drawBoxAroundLine( p1, 0 );drawBoxAroundLine( p2, 0 );function drawBoxAroundLine( tf:TextField, line_index:int ):void{ var gutter:Number = 2; var tlm:TextLineMetrics = tf.getLineMetrics( line_index ); graphics.lineStyle( 0, 0x0000ff ); graphics.drawRect( tf.x + gutter, tf.y + gutter, tlm.width, tlm.height );}
The box surrounding the line of text in the "use device fonts" box is way off at first. Scaling the player demonstrates that the text width of the device font field fluctuates wildly, while the "antialias for readability" field scales with the originally drawn rectangle perfectly. That much is fine, but again to clarify the problems I mentioned at the top of this post:
Since the text width fluctuates wildly upon player resize, assuming that getLineMetrics actually works on device fonts (and that's an assumption at this point), you'd have to detect the player resize and redraw the text. Unfortunately, Flash does not fire the player resize event unless the stage scale mode is set to NO_SCALE. That's problem #1. And if that's by design, then they should definitely add a SCALE event, because changes in player scale dramatically affect device font layout, which requires recalculation of text metrics. It's a real issue for fluid layouts.
The second problem is that even when handling the resize event, and for example setting the text field width's to match the Stage.stageWidth property, when the text line wraps, it's not updated until the next frame. In other words, at the exact resize event that causes a word to wrap, calling getLineMetrics in this handler reports the previous line length before the last word on the line wrapped. So it's delayed a frame. The only way to get the correct metrics immediately is basically to set the text property to itself like "p1.text = p1.text". That seems to force an update of the metrics. Otherwise, it's delayed, and useles. I wrote about this in an answer over a year ago, showing how sensitive the text field property order is: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9558597/88409

As I've noted several times, setting the text property to its own current value should not be necessary to update the metrics, and in some subclasses of text field, setting a property to its own value is ignored as the property is not actually changing and processing such a change would cause unnecessary work which could impact application performance. Metrics should be current upon calling getLineMetrics. They are not. That's the problem.
From a programming perspective, having to set the text property (really "htmlText" to preserve formatting) to itself to update metrics is almost unmanagable, and doesn't even make sense considering "htmlText" is just one of a dozen properties and methods on a TextField that could invalidate the layout metrics (alignment, setTextFormat, width, height, antiAliasMode, type, etc.), and I would have to override every one of those properties so that I could set htmlText = htmlText. Using such a subclass isn't even possible if I want to use the Flash IDE to add text fields to the stage. I would have to iterate over the display list and replace all existing fields with my subclass, which also isn't a good workaround because there's no way to update any and all variable references that may have been made to those instances.
Frome what I've read, the invalide+render event system is unreliable. My layout framework is similar to that of Windows Forms, and performs layout immediately, with dozens of docking modes and uses suspend and resume layout calls for efficiently resizing multiple child objects in a component. Certain calculations cannot be aggregated for a render event, because some containers are semi-reflexive, meaning they can expand to fit the child contents while also contraining the child size, depending on whether the contain was resized or the child component was resized, so as a matter of correctness the resizing calcultation must occur immediately when the child resizes, otherwise a top-down pass on the display hierarchy for resizing will not be sufficient.
As far as waiting until the next frame, no that is not possible, as it will cause one frame to be completely wrong. If I was dragging the browser window to resize it, it would look terrible as virtually every single frame during the resizing operation would be incorrect. Also, in the case where a user clicks the maximize or restore button of the web browser, the resizing event will occur exactly once, so if the metrics are not correct when that occurs, there is no recalculation occuring on the next frame, it will just be wrong and sit there looking wrong indefinitely.
In case it's not obvious by now, this is a web application. It uses the NO_SCALE stage scaling option, so notification of the event is not actually an issue for me personally. I was just pointing out that for anyone not using the NO_SCALE option, there is no event in Flash to detect player scale. What you're suggesting is using a JavaScript event and using the ExternalInterface bridge to send a message, which there is no guarantee whether it will be processed in a timely matter by the player and introduces possible platform inconsistancies, depending on whether the browser has actually resized the Flash interface at that point or what state Flash is in when it tries to recalculate the size of the text. The browser may send that event to flash before the player is actually resized, so it will be processing incorrect sizes and then resized after the fact. That's not a good solution. Flash needs a scale event in addition to a resize event. I'm really surprised it doesn't have one. At the very least, the existing resize event should be dispatched reguardless of the stage scale mode, rather than occuring exclusively in the NO_SCALE mode.
Bottom line is that getLineMetrics needs to return correct values every time it is called, without having to set the "text" property immediately before calling it. If such a requirement exists, which seems to be the case, then that needs documented in the getLineMetrics method.

Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose?

hi!
I make a e-book and it will be published on appstore and android market as application.
I'm wondering about font.
Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose like me?
I bought a mountain lion on appstore.
I look forward to hearing from apple whether it is lawful or not.
Have a blessed day~:)

Strangely, there isn't and end user license on Apple's site regarding iOS. But here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

How to print true type font in smartform with ECC6

hi,expert:
I want to use true type font "Comic Sans MS.ttf".
I upload this font file by SE73 named ZTT2I.
In SE73.. select the Radio button "Font Families" And click on the "True type Font Installation" button. click the font attribute ITALIC。
Our print device is LP01 and driver is CNSAPWIN
when I create a new style in smartform using the font ZTT, in preview window the font still like other font.
Our system is IDES ECC6, SAP_BASIS SAPKB70014
Now when I create smartfrom in language EN adn logon with language EN,it can print correct style of that font.
But if the smartform is base on language ZH or logon with language ZH, the output is not correct.
why? How to solve it?
how can I solve this problem?
thaks a lot

Hi,
Is the problem that uploaded true type font ZTT is not used when language is ZH? Did you update the chinese version of the style associated with the smartform? There is a separate style for each language version. So you need to log on in Chinese language and update the style with new paragraph, character formats. Then you need to activate the style and smartform for ZH langauge also.

Aidan
