WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Character 6,33 prints as different sizes depending on the printer driver you use. The bullet is one size when you print it on an HP LaserJet III with the same driver selected, but it's much smaller if you use the LaserJet IID driver. Solutions: The HP LaserJet IID printer does not have character 6,33 mapped. WordPerfect creates the character graphically with this driver. The HP LaserJet III has a Math8 symbol set built into the printer, and the HP LaserJet IID does not. Character 6,33 is mapped for the HP LaserJet III by using a character found in the Math8 symbol set. If you want the bullet symbol to be the same size as it is printed with the HP LaserJet IID driver, follow these steps:

      1.      Retrieve the WPHP1.ALL file into the PTR Program, and press F4 (Character maps)
      2.      Cursor to HP LaserJet III PC-8 (w/subs), and press Enter
      3.      Cursor to 6,33 and press Ctrl-End to remove the expression string
      4.      Exit and save and replace the file. Then update the HP LaserJet III in WP (Shift-F7, S, U).
