Summary :
Cascading Font settings are crucial for correctly displaying Unicode text in SAP environments. This SAP Note guides on configuring such settings for SAPscript, Smartforms, and ABAP List texts in Unicode systems using device type extensions of SWIN, specifically SWINCF(*). Due to the inability of classical fonts like Helve and Courier to fully support Unicode, cascading fonts that bundle multiple subfonts are recommended. However, options like Cascading Fonts for PCL and Postscript are currently unsupported. Detailed configuration steps, necessary support package levels, and a Cascading Font Configurator are provided in the attached guide along with related SAP Notes for further reference and support.
