Problem

Symptoms: When using a Bitstream font, The customer created some characters using the "Alt" key characters # (001,011,012,013). The characters show up in View Document but do not print. Using Courier these characters print just fine. Solutions: First, make sure the customer has the WP.DRS file in the WP51 directory. The information for creating the characters is contained in that file. You can see if WP is creating the characters graphically by choosing graphics "Do Not Print" and viewing the document. The graphic characters will not view. If they do view then they are being accessed form the character map of the font you are using, or one provided from your AFC's for that font, or from the substitute font list.

1.      Check to see if the character needs a transparent character code - [27]"&p1X" to allow the character to print. See Memo P51_492.

2.      Check to see if the fonts were generated with the IBM PC character set. If this is the case, then the previous step is one solution, unless they are using an HP Plus or compatible. The other solution is to generate fonts with other than the IBM PC set.
