Problem

Solutions: The IBM 4019 LaserPrinter E (Additional) driver supports Letter Gothic soft fonts and cartridge fonts. IBM sells a soft font package, #1039401, that has Letter Gothic soft fonts on it. These fonts are the same fonts found on the Letter Gothic cartridge #803. With these soft fonts, IBM also includes a utility for downloading the fonts to the printer. If the user does not have the (Additional) driver, they can use this utility to download the fonts to the printer and then select the 803 Letter Gothic cartridge. They can select any of the Letter Gothic soft fonts even though they are listed as cartridge fonts.

If they would like the capability of downloading their soft fonts from within WordPerfect, they will need to use the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter E (Additional) driver. There is a set of Letter Gothic soft fonts supported on this driver that are not the 803 Letter Gothic fonts. This procedure may work for other soft font groups as well, i.e. Times Roman, Century, etc. It should be emphasized that this method of font support should be used only as a temporary solution. There are not as many fonts supported on the cards as there are soft fonts, and no card will have all the fonts available that the user has in the soft font package they have purchased. We should not attempt to support the IBM downloading utility.
