What causes this issue?

The specified printer font is incorrectly defined in the SAPscript font
maintenance: There is no fontmetrics data (AFM file) for the
proportional printer font.
SAPscript uses run-time objects, the so-called SAPscript load which
contains data about fonts, character sets, layout sets, and styles.
These run-time objects (stored according to client) are automatically
regenerated if the data base tables on which they are based have
changed, or the run-time objects do not yet exist. The run-time objects
are accessed when texts are formatted for output to the printer or
screen.

System Response

The generation of font data for SAPscript had to be terminated.

How to fix this error?

In order to calculate the fontmetrics for proportional printer fonts,
SAPscript requires fontmetrics data (AFM file). This is managed in the
SAPscript font maintenance.
