Problem

Symptoms: The customer has some fonts that work with the HP LaserJet Series II but do not work with the HP LaserJet III. She is using the HP PC ProCollection cartridge and the Letter Gothic 18.75 cpi font. When she prints the document with Line Draw in it on the Series II it prints fine. On the HP LaserJet III, however, it doesn't print correctly. Solutions: The HP III poses a new problem with Line Draw documents. If a font does not have Line Draw characters available, WP uses the AFC/Substitute font selection to find one. The scalable fonts on the HP III contain these characters in their symbol set, and because the font is scalable, it can match the size font that is being used, and WP will select the scalable font as a substitute font for it. The scalable font is the font WP is accessing for the Line Draw characters, for the Letter Gothic 18.75 font, as well as some other fonts. At this point the only work around is to delete the Line Draw characters in the HP III PC-8 (w/subs) character map, by using the PTR program. The driver writer is creating five different typeface bitmapped line draw fonts, in various pitches, to correct several of these types of problems.
