WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer printing to an HP printer using softfonts was experiencing problems getting bold and italic fonts to print together. When the two attributes were combined the end result was just bold, no italics. In the 5.1 drivers an Automatic Font Change was sometimes entered for bold which would tell the printer to print bold in the font indicated (usually another bold font) and the italic font was getting left out. To change this situation one may go into the PTR program and unmark the AFC for bold.

To make the change to the .PRS file one would -
1 -      Type PTR/AFC at the DOS prompt (The automatic font changes do not appear in the .ALL file. To edit them one must retrieve the .PRS file. Adding the /AFC startup option will change the retrieve default to read *.PRS instead of *.ALL.)
2 - Retrieve the desired .PRS file and press ENTER on it
3 - Cursor to FONTS and press ENTER
4 - Cursor to the font that is to be edited, press ENTER
5 - Cursor to Automatic Font Changes, press ENTER
6 - Cursor to BOLD and press ENTER
7 - Unmark the indicated font by pressing BACKSPACE
8 - Exit PTR, saving the changes
