WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer was receiving the error message "Arithmetic Overflow Error In Printer Definition String" when trying to initialize the printer. Solutions: When the customer used the PTR Program to shorten the name of the printer, the error message no longer occurred. WordPerfect has set up a minimum number of characters that can be used for certain names. For the printer, typeface, map, PS, and kerning tables, the maximum number of characters is 36. Font names should be no longer than 58 characters. If you use the PTR Program and try to input more characters than allowed, PTR would stop and truncate the name when you press Enter. However if a third-party program opens WP's .ALL file and writes the information, WP has no control. The only solution is to manually use the PTR Program to make the proper change. The Developer's Toolkit warns about this situation.
