Greek Characters Printing Mismatched And Indi |

Problem
Symptoms: In the Greek alphabet, if there is no Greek font available, we presently generate graphically only the characters that do not look like Roman letters or characters that are not in the memory of the printer. After deleting the value of the characters in the printer driver and checking for substitute font changes, the characters still do not print out correctly. For example: The greek capitals do not match each other and the lowercase o and omicron are not distinct. Also, the lower case epsilon doesn't look correct. The customer thinks it looks too much like the letter Y and it has funny looking serifs. Solutions: The greek capital characters are being matched as they were designed to be matched. They appear the same as the ASCII characters of the font being used. The lowercase o and the omicron are also printing correctly. If the customer wants the characters to slant, the character needs to be italicized. The lowercase epsilon is an internal character that is printed out with the printer's own internal symbol set. The manufacturer created this character. In summary, if the customer wants all of the characters to be printed out graphically, he may want to create a font and have it use an empty character map (no values). This can be done by retrieving the .ALL file into the PTR program. The steps are as follows: 1. Retrieve the .ALL file into the PTR program. Press Enter on the appropriate printer name, and press Enter on Fonts. Then, press Enter on the built-in font library that is marked with an asterisk (*). 2. Choose #1 (Add) and press Enter on the font to be used as a pattern. (Note: If the customer uses a Courier font as a pattern, the new font will also print out in a Courier typeface). 3. Type in the new name of the font, such as "Greek". Press Enter to edit the font. 4. Select Character Maps, and choose #1 (Add). Press Ctrl-Enter to create a blank character map, and name it "Graphics Only". Mark this character map with an asterisk (*). 5. Exit the PTR program, and save the modified .ALL file. Enter WordPerfect and update the .PRS file (Shift-F7, S, #7). |
