Problem

Symptoms: After the user installed the Pacific Data Products Cartridge (PDP) information into the WPCorp .ALL file, the Courier Italic font is no longer selected as an Italic Automatic Font Change (AFC) for the normal Courier font. The customer is using the HP LaserJet IIIP printer. Solutions: The proportions listed by PDP for the Courier fonts are different than what is defined by WPCorp. The problem is that the PDP Courier typefaces are replacing all of the WPCorp typefaces during installation, except for the Courier Italic. The proportions are so different that Courier Italic is no longer an option for the Italic AFC. This has been reported to Pacific Data Products Corporation. The workaround is to use PTR/AFC and select your own AFCs as described in the WP manual, or change the typeface selection for the Courier 10cpi (Italic) and Courier 12cpi (Italic) fonts. The steps to do this are as follows:
1.      Retrieve the .ALL printer file into the PTR Program and press Enter on the HP LaserJet IIIP printer
2.      Select Fonts and press Enter
3.      Cursor to HP LaserJet IIIP under the Built-In category and press Enter
4.      Cursor to the Courier 10cpi (Italic) font and press Enter
5.      Cursor to Typeface and press Enter
6.      Cursor to Courier (Oblique) and type an asterisk (*)
7.      Exit back to the font list, and repeat steps 5 and 6 for the Courier 12cpi (Italic) font
8.      Exit the PTR Program and save the modified .ALL file. Update the .PRS file in WP by pressing Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), U (Update).
