WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the Tandy DMP 430 printer. In the Courier font, WP characters 4,2 and 4,3 print too far to the right when compared to the text. This only happens when the left margin is less then 1" and will not happen in the PS font. Solutions: WordPerfect characters 4,2 and 4,3 are being created graphically and are actually printing in the correct position. It is the text that is off. On this printer, as well as with most dot matrix printers, the graphics and the PS fonts use a different horizontal spacing method than the fixed pitch fonts. The graphics and PS fonts use a fine, very accurate, but extremely slow means of spacing. The fixed pitch fonts use a much faster, but less accurate means of spacing that can be off by as much as one character width. This is called roundoff error. No changes will be made to the driver.
