SAPSCRIPT fontsize scale possible

Clemenss — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 09:06:02 GMT

Hi Scripters,

someone told me stzaring from a certain release of printer driver you are free to scale your fontsize.

We use a ZHPLJ5SI (modified HPLJ5SI), I tried 11pt HELVE but it looks same as 10 pt. The department does not want 12 (used in the past) or 10 (we want) but 11 points.

Is it still necessary to define this new font size in the printer driver or why does the 'free scaling' not work?

TIA,

Clemens

Font size will be dependent upon the font which you are using go to se71 and see font tab, there you can see the maximum font size.

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

Clemens,

Till enterprise version, I'm sure that, it will list only the configured font size. If your version is below ot the EE version, you may need to define the font size.

OK,

that's what it should be. We are on SAP_BASIS/SAP_ABA 620 (59), SAP_APPL 470(25), IS-M 471(16).

Defining HELVE 11 poinz in header basic setting of sapscript is no problem. But when activating, message TD523 "Header data <Formname>: Font HELVE 110 4 is not an SAP font" is issued.

So the only way around is to define a new font size in the printer driver? How do they do it with freely scalable font sizes?

TIA,

Clemens

I view the only way as creating a custom font in se73 with your requirement.(font size HELVE 11) I doubt doing anythink with printer driver will workout.

Thank you all!

Solved it myself:

I defined 11 point HELVE as a SYSTEM FONT with normal, bold, italic, bold italic.

Then I defined 11 point HELVE for the printer type creating new print controls, using font metrics as defined for 10 point.

Works and looks good!

What I learned: Scalable Fonts are possible, but each and every size must be defined as system font (congratulations SAP!).
