Problem

Symptoms: On Epson printers, the 15cpi and 7.5cpi fonts have a smaller point size than other smaller fonts. For example, the 15cpi font (15 characters printed per inch) is smaller than the 20cpi font (20 characters per inch). The 20cpi font should automatically be smaller than the 15cpi font. This situation occurs with Epson and Epson compatible printers (including Epson, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Star, Alps, Brother, Citizen, Okidata, NEC, Roland, and Toshiba printers). Solutions: There are several instances where this difference in font size may be seen. For example, when using superscript and subscript attributes with the 15cpi font, WP only looks at the pitch of the font. The program does not look at the point size of the monospaced font. The superscript or subscript text might be taller than the base font. Another situation where this difference would be visible is with the Auto Line Height for the 15cpi font. The Auto Line Height is going to be smaller (more lines per inch will be allowed vertically) than some fonts that are not as wide, like 17cpi or 20cpi. This problem will also be visible after selecting the base font for one of the printers listed above and printing a document; the 15cpi font text will be shorter than the 17cpi or 20cpi font text.

Note: The 7.5cpi font is the 15cpi font double-wide, which means the same situation occurs with the 7.5cpi font.

The font printout is a function of the printer. The 15cpi font on the printer itself is shorter than the other font pitches available. This situation is documented in the printer manual.
