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

Problem

Symptoms: A .CGM file is brought into WordPerfect from Freelance Plus. The font selected in Freelance is Swiss with Bold turned on. When the file is printed from WP the font is extremely thin and is not proportionally spaced. Solutions: CGM text is type 1, which is a stick font. The latest version of WordPerfect 5.1 added Times Roman, Helvetica, and Courier to the stick fonts. This is a possible enhancement for a later version of WP. As a workaround, use an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or HPGL export format.

Releases of WP, prior to 06/30/90, will select the Courier font as a substitute for the Swiss font. Releases of WP that are dated 06/30/90 or later will select the Helvetica font. This is correct as both are san serif fonts. WordPerfect's Helvetica font is a stick font. Customers may also try using a Times Roman or Courier font in the graphic for better results in WP.
