WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Character 1,41 is printing much thinner than other characters from the multinational character set on an HP LaserJet Series II. Solutions: If a character is printing thinner than another character on a high resolution printer or thicker on a lower resolution printer, it is most likely that the character is being printed out graphically. The way to verify this is to view the character with the Graphics Quality option set to Do Not Print (Shift-F7, G). If a character is going to be printed graphically by WordPerfect, and the graphic option is set to Do Not Print, it will not view in the View Document screen.

If the characters are printing graphically, the customer can remedy the problem by changing the Automatic Font Changes in the printer driver so that when specific compose characters are selected, other fonts will be looked at for those characters first. If the characters exist in the substitute font, they will print in that typeface. The compose character may not be in the same typeface but it will print "heavier." The steps to do this are as follows:
1.      Retrieve the .PRS file in the PTR Program
2.      Press Enter on the correct printer name
3.      Highlight Fonts, and press Enter
4.      Highlight the font being used to create the compose character, and press Enter
5.      Highlight Automatic Font Changes, and press Enter
6.      Scroll down to the character set name that contains the compose character (e.g., Multinational 1 = Character Set 1, Typographic sym. = Caracter Set 4), and press Enter
7.      Select a font that will print the compose character if available by pressing the asterisk. Courier usually works the best. Sometimes the customer will need to experiment with different fonts.
8.      Exit, save and replace the file
