WP Characters - Not Bitmapped And Cannot Be C
DocumentID: 627500
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 1:42:16 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Users would like bitmap patterns for the characters in character set 2 or any of the other sets so they can program them into a .FRS file with the Screen Font Editor program for use with WP 5.1 DOS. Solutions: This is not possible. The characters in set number 2 (and in all the other WP character sets) are found in specific TrueType fonts that ship with either WP 6.0 DOS or WPWin 6.0. These fonts can also be obtained in Adobe Type 1 PostScript format, but they are not bitmapped fonts. This is why a .FRS file does not exist in WPWin 6.0 or WP 6.0 DOS.

As a workaround, users can print samples of the 6.0 characters in a larger point size and then create these characters manually in Screen Font Editor according to how they appear on the printout.

How/Why:
Version 6.0 of WordPerfect uses TrueType or Type 1 fonts for special WordPerfect characters.
