SMARTFORM - Font Problem Arial 12 converting to courier 12 in print

 

how fonts in smartform works (as I guess).

A. Smartform has a smartform style
B. Smartform style use some fonts
C. In SE73 you must define font in Font families
D. In se73 you must define font as System Fonts
E. Every printer has its own Device type (LP01 has HPLJIIID I guess), so you must have in SE73 - Printer fonts - defined some of System fonts what do you want to use.
F. If the font used in smartform style is not defined in SE73 - Printer fonts - DT, SAP converts it with automatic generated table of "Font Conversion" (SE73 - Printer fonts - DT - Font Conversion Button above)
So if you dont have Arial in DT, SAP generate preview with conversion from table DT - "Font Conversion".
But beware ! It doesnt say what font will be used on printer. It says Print Controls in Device Type of Printer AND SE73 - Printer fonts - DT - Font x print control selection (or conversion table, if font doesnt exist).
