Crystal report 2013 - Arabic support

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using Crystal report 2013. I am placing some Arabic text on the UI as labels. Initially the labels were coming fine but now when I am trying

to copy and paste the Arabic content it is showing ???with some arabic characters in the text field. When I try to edit the Arabic content at that time

the content shows fine.

Can anybody help me in this regards?

Thanks,

Simran

Hi,

Actully the problem got resolved by using formatpainter from the places which were showing text in Arabic to all other areas.

Also, when I see the font properties of the text where Arabic text was not proper then font was not getting shown in Arial and changing it back to Arial was also fixing the issue.

Hi Simran,

• A database that supports unicode characters needs to be used
• Fonts which support unicode characters need to be installed such as Arial Unicode MS.  For more options please refer to the Microsoft website.

One of my colleague Janos wrote an SCN document about this topic:

1. What is data source?

2. What is the data type?

3. Are you facing with problem only in the SAP CR Desginer 2013?

Save the report to Repository then View this report. Can you see the problem on BI launchpad?

Please also check the following SAP KBA: 1907396 - How to add new custom font in BI Platform 4.0

Let me know if it helps.
