In SE73 tansaction, there are 6 menus to manage fonts:
• Font families
– You may create a font family either by using this menu, or by installing a TrueType font.
– List of fonts are shown in 2 colors, Blue: represent non-TrueType fonts and Yellow: represent TrueType fonts.
The font family description also have 4 last characters equal to regular expression [_N][_B][_I][_X] which indicates what styles are installed, where: N = normal, B = bold, I = italic, X = bold + italic. For example Arial N_I_ means that the family font is a true type font with normal and italic, but there is neither bold nor bold + italic. Arial NBIX contains all styles.
• System fonts
– Font conversion: for the selected system font, and for each device type, SAP determines and displays the printer font that will be used for printing.
• Printer fonts
– List of device types
– Generate Font: you must select one device type, all fonts are checked
– Check Print Controls: you must select one device type, SAP displays values of printer controls used for each printer font defined for this device type
– Font size: it indicates the size in decipoints (120 means 12 points). It must be 0 if you define a proportional font.
• System Bar Codes
• Printer Bar Codes
• Install a TrueType font
– Creates a font family based on a TTF file. The same may also be achieved using RSTXSF01 program (exactly the same as the SE73 option) and RSTXPDF2 program by selecting options “Read and save font file” and “Install global softfont”.
