After Unicode conversion, Cascading font device type like SWINCF can be used to print multi language in one document. Here I summarize some changes between SAPWIN and SWINCF for the user who want to use this cascading font device type.
1. SAPWIN can print Latin-1 characters. JPSAPWIN can print Japanese and English characters. While SWINCF can print all Unicode characters.
2. SWINCF does not support outputting ABAP list on several pages. So format like X_65_1024/4, X_65_512/2 cannot be used for SWINCF.
3. For SWINCF, the changes in printer initialization will not work. So you cannot set font size and font type as note 21738. This is because that device type SWINCF uses the ABAP list driver, which calculates the font size automatically. Some Japanese user may notice that the font size is smaller when using SWINCF. But unfortunately this font size also the font type cannot be changed.
