fixed character width font

Former Member — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 05:02:02 GMT

Hi All,

In SAPScript i m using the font

ANDALE_J Size 8

This font is NOT 'Proportionate Spacing'

ie. It is fixed character width font

as per the definition.

In preview, the alignment of data

&field1(35)& &field2(15)& &field3(25)

is seen perfectly OK.

(multiple rows in detail data)

But when printout is taken, the

data is not printed as per alignment

seen on the screen.

Can anybody guide & help.

Regards,

Amit Mittal.

This means that the font you are using is not available for the device type used by the output device (printer) you are using.

Check transaction se73.

Select Printer fonts -> Display -> double click on the device type for the output device you are using and verify if the font family <b>ANDALE_J</b> size <b>080</b> is listed.

If it is not, use one that is available or ask the system admin to install the font for the device type and in some cases on the printer as well.
