WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer prints an equation on a Toshiba P321, the letters in the equation are printing larger then his regular text. If the customer sets Print As Graphics to No in the equation, the letters are the same as the text but the spacing isn't correct. Letters are printing on top of one another. Solutions: When equations are set to print as graphics, the equation characters are created graphically by WordPerfect. WordPerfect uses a file called WP.DRS for the font information and then bitmaps the characters according to the maximum graphic resolution of your printer. When Graphics Quality is set to High on the Print menu (Shift-F7), the Toshiba P321 printer will print with 180x360dpi resolution.

The WP.DRS file only contains four typefaces. These are general purpose typefaces and will not match your typeface exactly. The WP.DRS characters will have a boxier appearance due to the resolution of the printer. When the equations are set so they do not print as graphics, WordPerfect is forced to print the equation characters from characters that your printer can already print. This will mean that some of the characters will look the same as your text and some will be composed from characters that were not intended to look like equation characters. This causes the spacing and positioning problems.
