Fonts by Paper Type (ttaad3111m000)

Use this session to define the paper width and paper height corresponding with a combination of font and paper type.

A font is a set of characters of the same typeface (such as Garamond), style (such as italic), and weight (such as bold). A font consists of all the characters available in a particular style and weight for a particular design. You can choose from the various available fonts or define new fonts.

Typically, LN uses the fonts small, large, and medium but other fonts are available in the Font box. For each combination of font and paper type, you must enter the number of characters per line and the number of lines per sheet of paper.

Note: If a report is sent to a physical printer, you can only select the fonts that match the printer's paper type. The number of characters on a line and the number of lines that fit on a sheet of paper depend on the font being used. Based on the entered data, Tools checks whether the report fits on the sheet.
