Hi
I want to change the font as Arial(size-11) of a particular single field in our report layout. It should not reflect on the other fields.
Quick response will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mozila

Without knowing your system what I would do is define a user font. Then edit the field and set the field to this font. The fonts are defined in $BSE/lib/printinf print driver directories. This is what I would do for our UNIX based printing.

As Mark says modify the field font in ttadv3134s000 Maintain Report Fields.
If it's for Windows, you map a font using Bwprint. This mapping gets stored in the pc's registry.
Run Bwprint ... usually from c:\Program files\Baan\bin\bwprint.exe
Click on Help then Font test.
When the fonts have printed to the screen. Double click on one that you want to change. e.g. Font 14 old name pfont6.
Map that to the Windows font that you wish.
As long as you have modified the field to use that font, as in the first line of the posting, and when you reprint it, it should use your newly mapped font.

Hi - if you use this procedure how do you deploy the report and that font to other users?
thanks -

You don't need to deploy the report as such to any users.
As for the mapping of the windows font to a Baan font, you have 2 options:
1. Perform the manual mapping in bwprint on each user desktop
2. export the registry key from the computer that you have mapped
So in regedit go to HKLM\Software\Baan\Bwprint\Fonts
Right click, select export.
A XXXX.reg file will be created.
Publish that file to other users, double click it and it can be imported into their registry. Anti-virus software etc. may prevent this import for security reasons so you may need to temporarily disable.
