The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Customers have called requesting information for the PostScript Utility Disk and the WordPerfect 5.0 supplied Font Metrics. The information they are requesting is actually the PostScript Additional drivers. (They may also be asking for the metric width tables for PostScript fonts.) The customer's terminology may be unfamiliar to many. This is the terminology used in the soft font documentation supplied by Adobe. The documentation states that Optima fonts are contained in a WordPerfect package 6 and ITC Garamond fonts are contained in package 9.

To clarify this information, be aware that WPCorp does not have a PostScript Utility Disk. WPCorp does, however, supply Font Metrics information in the form of a .ALL file. Users will need the .ALL file containing the PostScript Additional drivers in order to obtain support for the Optima and ITC Garamond fonts. (The .ALL files are currently found on the printer disks 10 and 13.) These .ALL files also contain sufficient Font Metrics information to allow WordPerfect to format the document according to the font's point size.
