journal report and HELVSS75 font

Recommended Posts

I am using TMG v7.04.0000 Gold under Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit.

 

The journal report in TMG uses the HELVSS75 font for superscripted source reference numbers.

The HELVSS75 font is used regardless of what font I may specify in the exponent field on the Fonts tab in the journal report options.

The HELVSS75 font is unique to TMG.

I have tried report destinations of Acrobat (PDF) and printer PDF995 with the same result.

I have tried deleting/resetting the journal report.

 

I need to distribute journal reports via email to people potentially having slow internet connections (need small PDF files).

I therefore do not want to imbed fonts in the PDF file (makes large PDF files: 2,380KB vs 75KB).

I therefore need to use universally available fonts (HELVSS75 is not universally available).

 

Why does TMG provide an option to specify the font to use for exponents/superscripts and then ignore that option?

Since I cannot output a journal report to WORD .doc format or .rtf, how can I produce the desired PDF journal report?

I am disappointed that no one has offered a solution (or at least commiseration).

But, I can appreciate that v7 is old news and that the focus is now on v8.

 

I have tried many different things to try to get a PDF file that does not use the HELVSS75 font.

Including trying to generate a journal report with v8...but I am not at liberty to talk about that.

 

What I finally got to work was to:

- backup my database on my WIN7 64-bit computer

- fire up TMG on my old XP 32-bit computer

- restore my database

- generate my journal report to WORD doc format

- open the doc file in WORD 2003

- print the journal report to the PDF995 printer

 

This annoying workaround did have the benefit of creating a PDF file with the endnotes integrated with the journal report instead of having two separate PDF files.

 

Here's hoping that v8 will be the solution to ALL of our problems...
