Solved: Font in Smartform

Former Member · ‎2006 Jun 02

Hi All,

I have a Smartform for which i want to increase the font size ( Height and width ). I tried to create a Character format by giving the font family and font size. The font size i m trying is 160 or 180. But system is converting the value from 160 or 180 to 60 or 80 resp.

Please let me know the way to increase the font size.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Prashant

Hi

CHECK SPAD transaction

To upload font first locate ur file for that font in this case VERDANA,

normally u will find this file in C:\windows\font copy that file from there in

some other directory. then goto transaction code SE73 give ur font name

in SAP starting with Z and give ur font file path.

True Type-Font installiern

And also check

Create a new font type with the spool administrator (SPAD)

When you need some different fonts other than those available in the standard SAP system, you'll have to create those different fonts size manually for the device types that you are using.

Tested in 4.6x

COPY SAP STANDARD DEVICE TYPE TO ZXXXX e.g. ZHPLJ4

SPAD - Spool Administration

Full administration

Device Types - ZHPLJ4 (then click Device Types)

Utilities -> For device type -> Copy device type

Print Controls - Copy an existing Print Control and change the ControlCharacter sequence

SE73 - SAPscript Font Maintenance

Printer fonts - Change

Double click on the ZXXXX device type

Create

Font family COURIER

Font size 030

Characters per inch 21.00

Print control 1 SFXXX

Print control 2 SFXXX

e.g. HPLJ4 Print Controls CPI

Print to the users Windows default printers

4.6x

Prior to this, you should have your SAPLPD.EXE program running on the local PC.

Configure an Output device to print on the user own Windows default printers.

Transaction SPAD

Output devices - LOCL (naming convention for local printer)

Click Create

Device type - SWIN

Host Spool Access Method - F: Printing on frontend computer

Host Printer - If you are using the SWIN device type, you can also enter __DEFAULT (underscore underscore DEFAULT) to use the default printer in the Windows print manager.

Save
