Em Dash Touches Consecutive Characters When P |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The Em dash (4,34) touches the characters on either side when the customer prints using a Courier 10cpi font and HP LaserJet III type printer. Solutions: The Courier font does not have the 4,34 character available. WP is accessing it from the Substitute Font list. The substitute font is CG Times 12pt, and the character width of the Em dash is wider than the 10cpi characters. The character widths of a 10cpi font are 1/10th. The character width of the Em dash was 44.5/300ths. Since a substitute font is used, WP must still use the width of the current base font, so it centers the Em dash into a 1/10th of an inch character space. Depending on the characters used on either side of the Em dash, some characters may appear to touch the Em dash while others don't. WP is working as designed. The workaround is to use the CG Times font. |
