WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Error - "There are no predefined fonts for this Font Category" The error message "There are no predefined fonts for this Font Category" displays when a customer tries to access soft fonts under Shift+F7, S, E, F, C. Currently, WPFI (WordPerfect Font Installer) is used to install HP soft fonts. The selection to use this is "HP LaserJet (bitmapped Fonts)," on the WPFI main menu. Once WPFI has been used to install the fonts, you can then go into Shift+F7, S, E, F, C. Graphics Fonts Print Speed Speedo is the fastest, then Intellifont, followed by Type 1 fonts. TrueType fonts tend to be the slowest. The slower fonts tend to have a higher quality output. It is a performance/quality issue. WordPerfect does not use the actual font files for Type 1 fonts. WP creates an intermediate file with a WA0 extension. WP will look at the PFB file and the AFM or PFM file and create the WA0 file. The WA0 file speeds up the writing of screen fonts and the printing of Type 1 fonts. If WP read the font directly, like WP does with other types of fonts, the Type 1 screen font would draw much slower on the display and printing speed would be slowed as well. Printing a job graphically (Shift+F7, OutPut Options, Print Job Graphically) can speed up the print job on some types of line printers. Printing One Graphic On Top Of Another HP printers will print one graphic on top of another graphic in a see through scheme. A PostScript printer treats the graphics as opaque so that users do not get the see through effect. If users need to have an HP printer print the graphic in an opaque manner, use the "Print Job Graphically" option under Shift+F7. This would also apply to other printers that print graphics in a see through manner. Printing Reverse Text - White On Black Printing white text on a black box is possible on printers that do not normally support this type of printing. This is made possible by using the "Print Job Graphically" option under Shift+F7. Miscellaneous Font Information TrueType fonts take more memory to print. Graphic Font Extensions: TrueType = TTF Type 1 = PFB Speedo = SPD Intellifont = TYP Files with the .WFW extensions are used for menus, Button Bars, Compose (Ctrl+W), or if WordPerfect can't find a font to display or print with. If a font customers are using displays and/or prints with a stick figure like quality, WordPerfect is probably using the .WFW file rather than the actual font file. You can install (using WPFI) Type 1 fonts as soft fonts (printer fonts) if you have a PostScript printer selected. If you try to install these fonts as printer fonts in WPFI without a PostScript print file being present, you will receive the error message "No Valid Printer Found." You can also install Type 1 fonts as graphics fonts. The graphics fonts are used for display purposes on a PostScript printer. If you have a graphic font that does not come in italic, you can still have the font print as italics (using the italic attribute), if you "Print Job Graphically" under Shift+F7, Output Options. Graphics Fonts (Troubleshooting) Problem: A graphics font appears on the screen slowly or differently than it should. The font prints different or not at all, and in some cases, slower. Troubleshooting: This would only apply to fonts like Speedo, Type 1, TrueType, and Intellifonts. The first thing you would want to do is check the option Graphics Fonts Data Files under Location of Files. If WordPerfect cannot find the font files, the above stated problems could be the result. Users can check this by going into Shift+F1, L, F. You'll have the options to specify a path for each type of font. If the user is not sure whether they have placed the right path in Location of Files, they can verify this by doing the following: Press Shift+F7, S, E, F, G, or Ctrl+F8, Shift+F1, G. As they scroll through each font, they'll notice in the "Font Information Window" that it will give the filename it is looking for and whether it can find it successfully. If it says the file is not found, you either don't have the font or are pointing to the wrong directory under "Location of Files." This could cause problems with some of the fonts displaying and printing out correctly. |
