WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer created a Line Draw document in an earlier release of WordPerfect 5.1. The document was created using a Line Draw 18.75 CPI font, the ProCollection cartridge and the HP LaserJet IIP printer driver. The customer was complaining about the print speed and the vertical gaps between lines. The customer claims that in an older release the document printed fine and the page was printed out in less than two minutes. Solutions: WP was not printing the Line Draw lines graphically, but the customer was using a Line Draw 18.75 CPI (Letter Gothic) font. HP does not make a font like this. The customer claims that they don't know how the font got there, just that it worked previously. It is possible to create an 18.75 pitch Line Draw font using the 10 pitch Line Draw font as a pattern. The steps to create a Line Draw 18.75 CPI Letter Gothic font are as follows:

1.      Retrieve the .ALL printer file into the PTR program and press Enter on the HP LaserJet IIP printer
2.      Press Enter on Fonts
3.      Select the Font Library that contains the Letter Gothic 18.75 CPI font
4.      Cursor to Letter Gothic 18.75 CPI, select 1 (Add), and press Enter to use the LG font as a pattern
5.      Add the words Line Draw at the end of the name and press Enter
6.      Select the new font
7.      Press Enter on Character Map
8.      Cursor to HPII D/S Line draw and select 1 (Add). Press Enter to use this character map as a pattern.
9.      Add (18.75 CPI) to the end of the new character map and press Enter
10.      Type an asterisk beside the name, then press Enter to edit the new character map
11.      Press F9 (Variables), and type sp. The cursor should now be on the variable "sp".
12.      Press Enter to edit, and change (XPOS+30) to (XPOS+16). The number 16 is derived by taking 300 divided by the pitch of the font. In this case it was 300/18.75.
13.      Exit the PTR program and save the modified .ALL file
14.      Update the .PRS printer file in WordPerfect by pressing Print (Shift-F7), S (Select Printer), Update (7)
