Hi,

I want to use Arial font for printing smartforms, however when i create a style I cant see Arial as one of the fonts.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks & Regards,

Vanita M.

Create you own Z Smartstyle by assigning your own FONT and use that smart style in the smartform to print

Vanita,

Arial font is not available in smart styles i guess.. you have to install that font from windows into sap through SE73...

You can install truetype font (TTF) as Z's by tcode SE73.

If you install True Type Arial font, your work will be easier. In you PC, under Control Panel-->font folder, you will find Arial (True Type) font.

This will only install Arial font in sap. After installiing Arial font, you need to create all different size and type of Arial font, like size 9, 10, 11, 12 with BOLD, Italic feature. You can do this in SE73 inself once you install Arial True type font. It is not required to install all size and type of arial font. Just install Arial (True Type) font and set it for different size and configuration.

Usually, all font family with different font sizes will be loaded into SAP by the Basis. If certain font family is missing you can raise a request to basis team and they will be loading them into the SAP system...

To check the avialable fonts in your SAP sytems use Tcode SE73.
