The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the user retrieves a WordPerfect 5.0 file containing Bitstream fonts into WP 5.1, the fonts change to two points smaller. The customer is using a WP 5.1 .ALL printer file and has installed the identical fonts that were used in WP 5.0. The user has the 01/05/90 printer release date with the HP LaserJet Series II printer. Solutions: The fonts created for WP 5.1 were not identical. The user created the fonts with the HP Roman 8 character set in WP 5.1, and in WP 5.0 the fonts were created with the ASCII character set. The font cell height that Bitstream creates in the WPCorp .ALL file for these fonts has a 2pt size difference, which explains why WP is choosing a different font size when converting from WP 5.0 to WP 5.1. The customer can try using the PTR Program with the /50POINT option. This option keeps all of the size and spacing the same as it was in WP 5.0.
