Numbers/Letters Not Printing When Using A Zap |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: When using a Zapf Dingbat font created in Bitstream only the dingbat characters are mapped. The standard ASCII characters (letter and numbers) are not mapped because the Zapf Dingbat font doesn't have them. Because of this, if one prints a document with text other than the dingbat characters, they will not print and the user will only receive the dingbat characters. (This will be true of any font that does not have any WordPerfect characters.) This became very apparent for a customer trying to print Character Set 12 from the CHARMAP.TST. The user had mapped the dingbat characters to this table and wanted to print it so he would have the numbered grid as a quick reference in finding the character values. When the character set printed only the dingbat characters appeared. No text or numbers printed. This posed as a problem in that the value for each character could not be found without the numbers. In order to print the ASCII characters when using the Zapf Dingbat fonts users will need to select an ASCII Automatic Font Change in the PTR program. The steps for doing this are as follows: 1. Type PTR at the DOS prompt 2. Retrieve the desired .PRS file 3. Press ENTER on the driver name 4. Cursor to FONTS and press ENTER 5. Cursor to the desired Zapf Dingbat font and press ENTER 6. Cursor to Automatic Font Changes and press ENTER 7. Cursor to the ASCII feature and press ENTER 8. Select the desired font which includes the ASCII characters (this could be Dutch, Charter, Swiss, Courier etc...) 9. Exit PTR saving the changes The driver will now include an ASCII AFC which will allow numbers and characters to be printed when using the Zapf Dingbat font. |
