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

Problem

Symptoms: This customer is wondering why Courier 10pt. (12cpi) on a PostScript printer prints the characters "squatty." He says that Courier 12pt. prints fine, but that Courier 10pt. looks really short when it prints. In PageMaker the Courier 10pt. is not printing out squatty, and something must be wrong with our driver to make it print like that. He is using the HP LaserJet IID with a PostScript cartridge, defined as the Apple LaserWriter IINT. Solutions: WordPerfect uses the printer's fonts when it prints, PageMaker fonts may be graphically created. To test this we can print out some text in courier 10pt at DOS to show the customer what the printer really does. This can be done by copying the following to the port. To copy information to a port you type at a DOS prompt:
COPY source location. For example, COPY CON LPT1 or COPY FILENAME COM1.
/courier findfont
10 scalefont
setfont
100 700 moveto
(this is a test of courier 10) show

Remember it depends on whether the information was put into a file and the file can be copied to the port, and the port can change depending on where the printer is attached. For more information, read WP51_5037 which talks about printing at DOS, or read ALL_5508 which gives this same printing from DOS to a postscript printer.
