Fonts Not Appearing In Base Font Or Soft Font |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Many customers do not understand why their fonts do not show up in either the Base Font list or the Select Printer: Soft Font screen in WordPerfect after the fonts have been installed through various soft font programs (i.e., Bitstream, MoreFonts, etc.). Solutions: Many times the customer has installed the font program correctly, but the fonts still do not appear. Most soft font programs install the font information to the WordPerfect printer .ALL file. The .ALL file is the parent of the .PRS (printer resource) file or printer driver, but when a font package writes to the .ALL file, the information is not necessarily transferred to the .PRS file. In WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1, there is an option to update the printer (Shift-F7, S, 7). This will copy any new information from the .ALL file to the .PRS file, including font information. After using the Update feature, customers should be able to go into the Select Printer: Cartridges/Fonts/Print Wheels menu, and find their fonts under the Soft Fonts heading. |
