WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The underline or double underline characters shift up when mixing Hebrew and English. This problem also occurs when mixing Hebrew with punctuation marks or quotations. The customer is using the HP LaserJet IIIP printer with the Hebrew Language module. Solutions: The Hebrew printer drivers were written so the underline would be positioned under the descender of the font being used. The driver was written this way so that the underline would not print through the vowel markings. Vowels are placed under Hebrew characters. If underline was placed on the baseline, it would cover vowel marks making them unreadable. Vowels are only used in old Hebrew. If a customer does not use vowels, you can suggest that the underline be moved back up to the baseline to eliminate the problem. The steps to modify the printer driver to move the underline up to the baseline are as follows:
1.      Enter the PTR Program, retrieve the HEBREW1.ALL file, and press Enter on the HP printer name
2.      Cursor to Attribute Methods and press Enter
3.      Cursor to Underline and press Enter twice
4.      Cursor to Vertical Movement, press Enter
5.      Press Ctrl-End to remove the expression. Press Exit (F7) twice.
6.      Repeat steps 3-5 for Double Underline for Vertical Movement First Pass and Second Pass
7.      Exit the PTR Program and save the modified .ALL file
8.      Update the .PRS file in WordPerfect by pressing Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), 7 (Update)
