Smartform with Cyrillic characters

[Former Member]

I have a smartform with Russian characters that works fine when using the font courcyr, but when using timecyr I get '#' in place of the cyrillic characters. I have no problem using the timecyr with sapscript, but the only way I can print cyrillic characters in a smartform is with courcyr and I want to use timecyr. Do smartforms use a different set of fonts than sapscript? Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you using the same output device in SAP to print both Cyrillic smartform and sapscript?

Yes, it is the same output device. The sapscript will come through fine, but the smartform has the pound sign ('#') for the characters.

The language of the sapscript might be russian and smartform is not translated to russian.

If you are using message control for printing, make sure the output issued in the language you are trying to print.

The smartform is translated because it works fine when using the courcyr font.

One thing I did find out it that not even english characters come through when I use a non courier font. The only font that works with out smartform is courier, yet we can use any fonts in our sapscripts?????
