Fonts - Document Size Does Not Decrease After |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: If a font code, such as CG Times 12pt from an HP LaserJet III, is added to a document, the file size increases from 718 bytes to 3537 bytes. But after the font code is deleted and the document is saved again, the size of the file is only decreased a few bytes (down to 3520), even after the document is retrieved with an x, to rewrite the prefix. Solutions: Proportional Spacing (PS) tables are added to the document prefix each time a font is selected (unless the PS table already exists in the prefix). This means that if a lot of fonts are in the document, then there will be a lot of PS tables in the prefix. This will increase the size of the file. The PS tables will not be deleted from the prefix when the font is deleted. This is because the font may occur elsewhere in the document and WP would then have to keep track of how many times each font is used, and would have to make changes to the prefix each time the document is saved. This is not an option because of time and complexity. When the document was retrieved with an x, the new prefix only contained the PS tables for the fonts in the document. This is why the file size was smaller again. Caution must be used when doing this because other necessary information may also be deleted such as Automatic Font Changes (AFCs). |
