Details:
The threshold point size must be set below the point size you have selected to print, or you need to mark Print Job Graphically for the font to print italics or outline. HP and HP-compatible (PCL) printers do not have the fonts needed to automatically print italics or outlined text. Therefore, they must either have an italic font or an outline font to print those attributes. When WordPerfect prints the job graphically, it is able to print an italic or outline version of the font. You may encounter a similar problem with composed characters, or with fonts you have converted to a supported format from MoreFonts or other products that have an italics font available. The converted fonts do not have the proper typeface information to allow WordPerfect to set up the Automatic Font Changes. |
