Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the HP LaserJet IIP and the Fine attribute. The Fine attribute is not being recognized in the printed document. If the user selects the HP LaserJet Series II printer but prints the same document on the HP LaserJet IIP, the printout is correct. The 16.67cpi font is available as a Built-In font for both .PRS printer files. Solutions: The Fine attribute is working correctly. The typeface of a font holds a higher priority than size. On the HP LaserJet Series II printer, the closest font WP can select when Courier 10 is the base font is the Line Printer font (16.67cpi). Because the HP LaserJet IIP has a Courier 12cpi font available, the Courier 12cpi font is being selected instead of the Line Printer font. The Line Printer font is a Letter Gothic typeface. If the Line Printer font is desired for the Fine attribute when Courier 10 is the initial base font, the user can select Line Printer as the Base Font (Ctrl-F8, 4) instead of choosing a Size attribute (Ctrl-F8, 1).

Another alternative is to remove the Courier 12cpi font from the HP LaserJet IIP Built-In Font List (Shift-F7, S, 3, 4, Select Built-In, and unmark the Courier 12cpi font). After exiting WP, and loading WP again, the Font list and Automatic Font Change (AFC) selection will be updated and the Line Printer font will be selected for the Fine attribute.

Another option is to use the PTR program to assign the Line Printer font to the Fine attribute. This option sets up the AFCs for the specific typeface and size desired.
