Problem

Solutions: There may be situations where a user wishes to copy a font library from one .ALL file to another. For example, if a user just received disk 8 and wishes to use the additional driver for the HP LaserJet Series II so that he has support for the IQ Engineering Cartridge, but he has created Bitstream fonts on the WPHP1.ALL file and does not wish to regenerate the fonts, he copy the Bitstream fonts in the WPHP1.ALL file to the WPHP51.ALL file. Using this example as a guide, to copy a font library from one .ALL file to the other you should

1.      Enter the PTR program and retrieve the .ALL file which contains the fonts you are copying. Highlight the printer name and press Enter.

2.      Cursor to the option for Fonts and press Enter. Find where it says Softfonts (Kb) and look for the library name which is followed by (FW).

3.      Press 4 for copy. You are prompted for the destination file. Type the path and name of the .ALL file you wish to copy the fonts to. Press Enter.

4.      Exit the .ALL file without saving it and without exiting the PTR program.

5.      Retrieve the .ALL file you specified as the destination file in step 3. Cursor to the printer you are editing and press Enter.

6.      Cursor to the option for Fonts and press Enter. Find the soft font library with (FW) and mark this with an asterisk. Exit the PTR program, saving the changes you have made as you do so.

7.      Update the .PRS file in WordPerfect, making sure that you also specify the path for softfonts.

Only steps 6 and 7 are needed if copying fonts from one driver to another when both .PRS files are in the same .ALL file.
