Problem Note 12492: "Warning: Font Arial could not be used" issued when using TrueType fonts
When generating graphs using TrueType fonts to the screen or a printer,
some font substitutions may occur, and a warning similar to the
following may be issued:
WARNING: Font Arial could not be used.
Font SIMULATE substituted for font Arial.
The substitution may occur with Arial and Wingdings fonts.
To circumvent the problem, you can:
1. Try specifying the height of the font using PT size, such as
12pt, instead of cells.
2. Use a similar font, such as Arial Unicode MS, instead of Arial.
