HP LaserJet Series II--Soft Fonts And Bold It |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: AD and AF soft fonts do not print italic bold in italics. The HP LaserJet Series II printer switches to another font that isn't italic. Solutions: As far as we know, HP doesn't make any fonts that are both bold and italics. (We are sure they don't have such fonts in the AD and AF families). So, when you select both bold and italic together, you're either switching from the bold font to the italic font, or vice versa. You can't get both together as fonts. Now, italics can be simulated with an underline, whereas bold is either there or it's not. So, WP is designed to stay in the bold font, and simulate the italic attribute with underlining. You can get around this, but it requires a "finalized" .PRS file, and a trip into the PTR program. What you want to do is go into Fonts and unmark the bold AFC for all italic fonts. (This assumes that you're using an HP LaserJet family driver, which some of the people looking in Folio may not be. The main requirement here is that the default method for the bold attribute method in the driver must be "Multiple Pass Overstrike".) Once this is done, the following will hold: When in a normal font and using attributes bold, italics, bolded italics, and italicized bold will all print correctly. When using the italic font as base font, the bold attribute will print correctly. However, when using the bold font as base font, the italic attribute will still print as underlined bold. The best solution we can come up with is to either mark all of the bold fonts for use as AFC's only (so the normal base font will still switch to the bold font when bolded), or to delete the bold fonts from the driver altogether. After all, WP will still bold everything with multiple overstrikes, right? |
