WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is unable to get the Outline attribute to work with the Universal Bold Condensed font off of the WordPerfect Scalable Cartridge. This cartridge is for the HP LaserJet IIIsi printer. He used Autofont to install the support for the cartridge. He selected the cartridge in WordPerfect. Two Universe Bold Condensed fonts showed in the Base Font menu. He used the Outline attribute with each one, and the font from the printer printed correctly, but the font from the cartridge did not. Solutions: The Universe Condensed style code exists in the HP's PCL language mode but not in the HPGL mode. It is the use of the HPGL mode that makes Outline possible. WordPerfect did not give the Universe Condensed font outline capabilities because it is not supported in HPGL mode. HP, however, marks this Universe Condensed font for having outline capabilities in WP's driver. When printed, the font prints in outline, but it uses the standard Universe font to print in because it cannot select a condensed font. Since WP spaces for Condensed, and the printer prints in the normal Universe font, the spacing is incorrect.
