WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: When WordPerfect 5.1 prints Multilingual characters (Character set 1), it first looks to see if the character is mapped in the PTR's character tables for the printer being used. If the character is mapped, it prints the character using those codes. If the character is not mapped, it splits the character up into text letter and diacritical mark. If both the letter and diacritical mark are mapped, WordPerfect will combine the two as an overstrike and print it. Printing the characters graphically is used only as a last resort.

For example: To print the e character, WordPerfect first looks to see if the accented e (1,41) is mapped in the PTR's Character map. If it is, WordPerfect uses these codes to print the character. If it is not, WordPerfect will divide the character into e (0,101) and ' (1,6). It then checks to see if either of these characters is mapped and uses those values in an overstrike to create the character. If one or the other is not found, WordPerfect will print that part of the character graphically by using the character's information found in the WP.DRS file.
