Bold Prints as Underline when Combined With Italics |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
The customer is trying to print documents using the bold and italics attributes together. However, when this combination is used, the text prints as bold and underline, rather than italics. The customer can print documents with italics alone. For example, one customer has an HP LaserJet Series II printer and is using Times Roman 12pt (AD soft font) as the base font. The Times Roman Italic 12pt font is available. In a document, the customer has used italic and bold as attributes. The document prints the Times Roman Italic font with underline instead of printing bold. This problem also happens if the Helvetica AD font is the base font. The user also experienced a problem with the line spacing in the same file with the Super Engineering Cartridge Times Roman 12pt font selected. By changing the Line Height to Fixed, the problem was corrected. This problem has also ocurred with other printers and fonts (e.g., HP LaserJet IIP and the ProCollection Cartridge). |
Answer:
This problem is with the WP.EXE file when the Bold attribute is used in conjunction with the Italic attribute. This situation worked fine in the 11/06/89 release, but not in the 01/19/90 release. This problem was corrected in the 06/29/90 release of the program. In the Software Change Notice, it states that with Automatic Font Changes (AFC), a non-italic bold font is generated as the AFC for an italic font. This action caused the italicized text that was bolded to print and view underlined. Thus, the customer will need to regenerate the fonts by updating the printer file (Shift-F7, S, U). |
