• Message text: Are there any forms/styles which use this system font?

What causes this issue?

The user would like to delete a system font.

System Response

The system sends a warning message as it is not possible to check
whether the system font is still being used in existing forms (styles)
when deleting system fonts. If this is the case, these forms (styles)
can no longer be activated once the system font has been deleted.
Printer output with these forms (styles) is therefore no longer
possible.

How to fix this error?

Never delete system fonts from the SAP standard version. If a
customer-specific system font is involved or one created for test
purposes, remove the system font from the forms (styles) affected
before you delete it.
