Summary :
The SAP Note addresses font selection in Windows when printing with SAPWIN device types (e.g., SAPWIN, SWIN). The 'Font replacement' option in SAPlpd allows substitution of Windows fonts, affecting ABAP lists and SAPscript forms. Avoid using proportional fonts for ABAP lists to prevent formatting issues. SAPscript form printing relies on print controls (e.g., SFxxx) defined in SAPscript printer fonts, managed in SE73. Control details vary with release and font scalability. From Release 4.0A, fontmetrics for Windows fonts can be automatically generated and imported using SAPlpd and report RSTXLMET for accurate print formatting.
