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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer converted Softcraft fonts from the WordPerfect 5.0 *.ALL printer file to the WP 5.1 *.ALL file format. The Times Roman (Softcraft) font, with Automatic Font Changes (AFCs) ranging from fine to extra large, does not print correctly. Also, the italic fonts do not print as italics. The user converted the WPRINT1.ALL file to the WordPerfect 5.1 format. When the .PRS file is retrieved into the PTR Program, the AFCs show "YNOT FOUNDL". Solutions: The correction for this situation is that the customer must use the /50POINT option when converting WP 5.0 printer fonts to WP 5.1 fonts. Using this option will retain the point size of the fonts and proportional spacing (PS) tables.

If the user needs to convert the WP 5.0 .PRS file to a WP 5.1 .PRS format, it is recommended that the WP 5.0 .ALL file also be converted to a WP 5.1 .ALL format. This will allow the user to change the sheet feeder, soft/cartridge fonts, etc., without getting any error messages about not finding the .ALL file that was used to create this printer definition.
