HP LaserJet Series II--Initial Bitstream Font |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer used a 12pt Dutch Roman font in all of his documents created in 5.0. He has 5.1 now and created the same fonts and has them selected. When he retrieves his 5.0 documents into 5.1 the initial base font for the document (Shift-F8, 3, 3) is set to Dutch Roman 10pt rather than the 12pt. We can get around it by pressing the space bar and retrieving the documents into the current document, but he has a lot of documents and doesn't want to have to do that on all of them. Solutions: This is not a WP problem. Bitstream creates it's own size and spacing tables, and WP uses these tables to check the size when doing its converting. Looking at the PRS files that Bitstream created for 5.0 and 5.1 confirms this. In 5.0 we used font cell height for font size information, and we used this again for font conversions from 5.0 to 5.1. When we compared our two versions using the PTR Program we noticed that the font cell height in Size and Spacing in 5.0 for the 11pt font was 8.4. In 5.1 the 11pt is 10.58 and the 9pt is 8.66, which makes the 9pt closer for the conversion. You might also want to check to see if identical symbol sets are being used from 5.0 to 5.1. We noticed that Bitstream created different font cell heights that varied to the type of symbol set used, and we have no control over this. We suggest that he manually makes the change in his document. The change can be made to the printer driver, but it would take time and could cause future problems. If the user is converting a 5.0 .PRS or .ALL file, have them go into PTR 5.1 with the following switch; PTR/50POINT This will keep all of the 5.0 point size information the same in 5.1. This switch is used to correct wrong point sizes when converting from 5.0. |
