Problem

Solutions: The following information from PC Printers answers many customers' questions about PS fonts on the new line of Epson Printers (Epson LQ-570, LQ-870, LQ-1070, LQ-1170).

The 5.1 driver for these printers does have PS (proportional) fonts, although it may be somewhat confusing as to how they are now handled. These printers have built-in scalable fonts in the Roman and Sans Serif typeface families. If the printer driver requests an old PS font (as in the LQ-510 driver), these new printers will actually use the new scalable font and match the old font size (roughly 10.5 point). WordPerfect decided not to handle the proportional fonts like in the older drivers, but rather to use the scalable font option which provides sizes from 8 to 32 points in increments of 2pt.
