Converting 5.0 Files To 5.1 Selects Wrong Fon |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: An article has been published in a New York newspaper stating that WP cannot convert 5.0 documents to 5.1 correctly. Here are the facts: The problem deals with fixed pitch fonts (PS fonts convert correctly) and occurs only on those printers that have two fonts with the same width ratio, but different heights. Known printers include NEC PinWriters and HP DeskJets, however there may be others. When a 5.0 document is retrieved into 5.1, the width ratio is converting correctly, but it is not checking the height ratio and is selecting a smaller font in 5.1. i.e., A courier 10 pitch font (approx. 12pt) will convert to courier 10 pitch half height (approx. 6pt). This happens with very few printers and has an easy work around. This will be fixed in the 5.1 interim release. The 2 work around options are: 1) At the point where the document is selecting the improper font, go into base font and select the desired font. OR 2) Edit the printer in WP (Shift-F7, S, E), go into Cartridges and Fonts, select Built in fonts, and delete the asterisk next to all Half height fonts (or the offending font) and exit back out. Once again this will be corrected on the next 5.1 master. This is expected mid-January. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused the customer. |
