WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: WordPerfect prints the wrong character from Character Set 1 to an IBM Quietwriter II. The customer has the Letter Gothic PC and the Orator A cartridges selected. When he selects the Letter Gothic PC font and prints characters 1,59; 1,31; and 1,41, characters 1,58; 1,30; and 1,40 (respectively) are printed instead. It is printing the uppercase characters instead of the lowercase ones. Solutions: The Orator A font is an all-caps font, and as a result, all of the multinational characters are printed in upper case. Because the Orator A font has more multinational characters available than the Letter Gothic PC font, the Orator A font is selected as an Automatic Font Change (AFC) for the Multinational 1 character set for the Letter Gothic PC font. WP will always look to the Orator A font first for the characters found in Character set 1. Since the Orator A font is an all-caps font, it appears that the wrong character is being selected when in fact it is just an all-caps font that is being selected. As a workaround customers may modify the .ALL file by doing the following:
1.      Retrieve the WPMS1.ALL file into the PTR Program and press Enter on the IBM Quietwriter II
2.      Select Fonts and press Enter on IBM Quietwriter II. Cursor to the Orator A fonts (there are four of them)
3.      For each font, select the font, select Miscellaneous Questions, and put an asterisk next to Don't Use Font for Automatic Font Changes or Substitute Fonts
4.      Save the file, and exit the PTR Program
5.      Update the .PRS file in WP (Shift-F7, S, 7)
