  The SAP error message CFONT020 indicates that there are undeleted fonts still in use, which prevents the deletion of those fonts. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete a font that is currently being referenced or used in some form within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The font you are trying to delete is currently being used in one or more documents, reports, or forms.
  System References: The font may be referenced in the SAPscript, Smart Forms, or other print layout configurations.
  Cache Issues: Sometimes, the system may have cached the font usage, leading to this error even if it seems like the font is not actively in use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CFONT020 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage:
  
  Check where the font is being used. This can include:
