Resources for supporting Unicode ABAP files

Specific coded fonts are available to reference the AFP migration fonts. These coded fonts are used for the Unicode processing of the ABAP files. To map these coded fonts for Unicode, page definitions were also created. The page definitions are divided into 5 pairs, which map the Courier fonts, the Japanese fonts, the Simplified Chinese fonts, the Traditional Chinese fonts, and the Korean fonts.

The resources are not part of the AFP Font Migration collection. All these resources and their source code are available in the unicode.rc subfolder from the sap2afp folder, where the configuration files also reside. When the Unicode processing is required, the transform automatically searches for the resources in that specific folder. Otherwise it continues to search in the InfoPrint Manager fontlib and reslib folders.

The table lists the new coded fonts, page definitions and Page Printer Formatting Aid (PPFA) source files used:
