WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the IBM Quietwriter I(Old EPROM) printer and the Courier 10 PC Dbl-Wide font. When the text follows a tab, the bold will not strike exactly in the same place on the second pass as it does on the first pass. Solutions: Since the printer driver is using space fill for movement, WordPerfect uses the previous font's movement increments which are 1/10ths to space over to the position to print the Dbl-Wide text. On the second pass it is using the more exact increment for the Dbl-Wide font. The following instructions fix the problem. However, this fix will not be put in the printer driver that ships due to the slowness it would cause with printing. If you receive more calls on this, please submit the problem as a candidate for the Hotlist. The following changes will need to be made in the PTR Program to correct the problem:
1.      Go into the PTR Program and retrieve the PRINTER.ALL file and select the printer.
2.      Move down to Fonts and choose the Courier 10 pc Dbl-Wide font, press Enter.
3.      Move down to Load and Select Strings and press Enter.
4.      Move down to Select Font and put the code Reposition at the end of the font select string.
5.      Exit and Save the PRINTER.ALL file.
6.      Go into WP and press Shift-F7,S,7 to update the PRINTER.PRS file.
