  • What causes this issue?

    You tried to remap one or more characters which are contained in the
    custom SAPscript font (i.e. a TrueType font installed by the customer).

    System Response

    The system does not allow to remap these characters. The entire action
    was discarded. Characters supported by a custom SAPscript font always
    have priority in a Unicode Reference Device Type.
    Example:
    A customer has installed the TrueType font "Comic Sans MS" as custom
    SAPscript font ZCOMIC. This TrueType font contains a glyph (i.e. a
    character shape) for Unicode codepoint U+0021 (exclamation mark). When
    editing Unicode Reference Device Types, it is not allowed to replace the
    U+0031 character from Comic Sans MS with the character from another
    font.

    How to fix this error?

    When you select characters (i.e. Unicode codepoints) which you want to
    assign to another font, make sure you only choose characters which are
    currently mapped to a font from the UPE font repository.
    Note: Characters which are contained in a custom SAPscript font always
    have a font index value of "00".

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
