Problem

Symptoms: When the user prints a large bullet in WP using the character 4,44, it prints the bullet as an oval shape, rather that a circle. Is this correct on the fixed pitch fonts? It works correctly on the PS fonts? The user has the initial release of the program. Solutions: The bullet is printing correctly on the fixed pitch fonts. WP 5.1 DOS tries to keep the character height constant when printing graphic .DRS characters. In a PS font this is no problem because the characters are scalable and once the correct height is reached, the PS width is taken as it is. However, in a fixed-pitch font there are problems when you try to print a relatively wide .DRS character. When you scale it up to the correct point size to match the rest of the font, the character is too wide to fit in the fixed-pitch scheme. On the other hand, if you scaled the character until its WIDTH was correct for the font, it would be too short! I guess the developers decided that making a character too thin was better than making it too short.
