Have you explored installing the same Arial font on your Unix system?

The following hyperlink provides instructions that may assist.

Was your example contrived, or have you mounted Windows drives to your
system?  Your GLOOK file reference uses a Windows path, yet you have the
font installation warning message.

Kind regards

David

Subject: Vector Graphic with "Arial" under Unix

Dear community,

we are going to mirgrate form Windows to Unix. For this we have a
problem with our SAS graphics. We create EMF graphics, which are with
9kb very small and we are able to extract the title out of the vector
graphic (this is needed by one of our other systems). We are using the
font "Arial"
which is somehow not available under Unix. We would like to run our
programs under both operating systems and get nearly the same graphics.
Does someone know how I can make the font "Arial" or a similar vector-
processing-font available to the Unix SAS? I tried all SAS software
fonts under Unix, but could not find one matching. On the Unix machine
itself different variants for arial are available (e.g.
"--arial-medium-i---0-0-0- 0-p-0-iso8859-1"). When trying to use this, I
get the same warning, that the font is not available.

Example to create a graphic:
FILENAME glook "C:\temp\";
goptions reset=all device=emf ftext="Arial" GSFNAME = glook;

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
 TITLE h=5 'title in arial';
 plot weight*height=sex;
RUN;QUIT;

Warning message:
WARNING: Font Arial could not be used.
         Font SIMULATE substituted for font Arial.

Thanks for your help
Katja
