EMF driver cannot find any fonts when using ODS

阚益凡 — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 11:33:06 GMT

I've encountered an error when using ods to produce an output in rtf.

I tried to analyse a data set called marine, and I wanted to deliver the result to the ods to produce a rtf as the book said. However, I discovered the EMF driver cannot find the fonts in my SAS, as picture 1 indicates.

picture 1

I tried to reload the fonts in my SAS, and do as SAS support said on https://support.sas.com/kb/15/682.html , just remove the old fonts and reinstalled the fonts from the zip. However, this still cannot work.

So now I don't know what to do with this, please help!!

Here are the code:

ods rtf file='D:\Marine.rtf'
	bodytitle 
	/*columns=*/
	sasdate
	style=normal
	startpage=no;
ods noproctitle;
	proc means data=sasbook.marine
		mean max min
		maxdec=2;
	class family;
	title 'Whales and Sharks';
	run;
	proc print data=sasbook.marine;
	format length 8.2;
	run;
ods rtf close;

And the result viewer is fine:

Tks a lot!!!

Can you replace the single quotes with double quotes. or copy the code below and run that?

ods rtf file="filepath.rtf"
	bodytitle 
	sasdate
	style=rtf
	startpage=no;
ods noproctitle;
	proc means data=sasbook.marine
		mean max min
		maxdec=2;
	class family;
	title "Whales and Sharks";
	run;
	proc print data=sasbook.marine;
	format length 8.2;
	run;
ods rtf close;

Still not, both of them have the same error message as the picture shows.

Are you using SAS Studio or SAS DMS or other?
Is this a local installation (on your windows workstation / laptop)?

SAS with DBCS on my laptop
I am not sure if any fonts are missing when installing it, or could it be some other mistakes?

You are running a very old version of SAS (SAS9.4 M2 - released in 2014). Your steps to update the fonts should have worked. But I do not have access to the old SAS version for testing. I suggest you: a) contact sas technical support (https://service.sas.com/csm - get help) and open a request for support; or b) reinstall SAS using a software depot with the latest release, SAS9.4 M8.
