The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The following requests would help eliminate daisywheel calls in the areas of changing methods of bold, underline, and mapping characters for customers in the PTR Program.

The first part of this request would be adding the Standard Typewriter driver to the same .ALL file as all other daisywheel printers. Users with daisywheel printers often need this file, and yet they have to select an entirely different .ALL file to be able to select this printer.

A second request would be to change the method of bold on the Standard Typewriter driver to multiple pass overstrike with values of 3, 3, and 3. Also, the method of underline should be set to WordPerfect's underline on a separate pass for the Standard Typewriter driver.

A third request would be to set up a generic ASCII backspace print wheel selection (or map similar compose characters in PTR) on the Standard Typewriter driver as well as other common daisywheel drivers (i.e., Diablo 630). In 4.2, many of the daisywheel drivers were written to compose characters with regular ASCII symbols. For example, the quote mark was actually mapped in as if it were an umlaut. If some of these same adjustments were made to a generic print wheel definition, more customers would find that their print wheel would generate more characters. Solutions: This information has been written up as an enhancement. If you continue to receive calls on this, please contact your team leader who can take the necessary steps to include the problem on the common call list.
