What causes this issue?

Font data, required by the word processing system SAPscript to format
texts, was to be generated for a device type. However, the character
set of the specified device type does not exist.
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 regenerated
automatically 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.
