WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has an HP Laserjet III. She wants to know if there is a way to change her driver so that she gets 6 lines per inch instead of 7 when using a 12 pitch font. She thinks that 7 is too close together. She says that in 5.0 and 4.2 she only got 6 lines per inch when using 12 pitch. She knows about setting the line height to fixed so that she can force WP to only do 6 lines per inch, but then she has to go back and change to Automatic again every time she uses her font attributes so that her larger fonts will have a greater line height. Solutions: In 5.1 we are using a typesetter's rule for horizontal and vertical positioning of lines. If they do not like the vertical spacing, they can edit their printer definition and get any lines per inch they wish.
To change a font to 6 lines per inch do the following:

1.      Retrieve the ALL file in to the PTR program and edit the printer.
2.      Go to Fonts and press Enter on the font Library that contains the font that is to be modified.
3.      Edit the font's Size and Spacing information.
4.      Add enough leading so that leading + point size = 12.
5.      Exit, Save, Replace the ALL file.
6.      Update in WP(Shift-F7, S, 7).
