Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using an HP LaserJet 500+ printer with the 08/24/90 date. At a clear screen, he first selects the Line Printer 16.67 font. The rest is as follows:
{TAB} {TAB} SPACE 00 {HRT}
{TAB} {TAB} SPACE 12 {HRT}
{TAB} {TAB} CTRL 2 3,10 CTRL 2 3,8
With the 06/22/90 printer date, the 0, 2, and the Ctrl 2 3,8 all vertically line up at position 2.06. However, on the 08/24/90 printer date the 0 and the 2 line up at pos "2.06", but the Ctrl 2 3,8 character is at position 2.08. It lines up wrong and prints unaligned. Solutions: On the new 08/24/90 release for the HP definitions we have added additional bitmapped line draw fonts in 10 and 12 pitch. WordPerfect is selecting the Line draw 12 pitch for the Box draw AFC for his line printer 16.67 pitch font. This is why the spacing is changing when he chooses the line draw characters. To correct his problem:
1.      Type PTR/AFC at the DOS prompt (this startup option simplifies the
      changing of AFC selections).
2.      Retrieve the .PRS file (Shift-F10)
3.      Edit the Line printer font
4.      Cursor to Box draw
5.      Press backspace
6.      Exit and save.
