3258995 - Font Restrictions and recommendations for Myanmar (Burmese)

Symptom

You want to use Myanmar (Burmese) fonts  in an ABAP based SAP system.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Cause

Adobe Document Server (ADS) does not support Burmese fonts.

Resolution

  • Display on a Windows based frontend (SAPGUI or html based fronted) and printing with a Windows based device type (for example SWINCF) are supported only with Windows 10. Note: Do not use 3rd party solutions offering input methods and fonts that are not based on Unicode. Only Unicode texts can be handled in a Unicode SAP system.
  • The SAP language code MY for Myanmar (Burmese) can only be used in a Unicode system. General information about Unicode-only language keys can be found in SAP note 895560.
  • Printing of ABAP lists may work only with device type SWINCF (as outlined in SAP note 1866491), but not with other device types including UPE (SAP note 1812076).
  • Print preview and printing of Sapscript and Smartforms are not supported.
  • PDF conversion is not supported.
  • SAP Interactive Forms by Abobe (IFbA) are not supported.
