Third-Party Font Packages - What Will And Wil |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: With WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, any third-party font package written specifically for WP should work. For example, Bitstream Fontware, Bitstream FaceLift for WP, MoreFonts for WP, Glyphix for WP, HP Type Director, Publisher's Powerpak, Fonts on the Fly, etc. With WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS running in a Windows environment, any product that uses a TSR (like FaceLift, MoreFonts, Glyphix), or monitors port output (like PowerPak) will not work. Any package written for WP 5.1 DOS that modifies the .ALL file (like Fontware or Type Director) should work. Customers do need to use a .PIF file. If they have questions on how to set it up, they should call their third-party font manufacturer or Microsoft and ask how to create a .PIF file. Note: (WPCorp does not support WP 5.1 DOS in this environment. WP 5.1 DOS wasn't written for a Windows environment although Windows has the ability to run DOS applications through .PIF files.) In these cases Customer Support operators help WordPerfect customers by providing basic troubleshooting, but customers must realize that WP Support operators are not experts on other products, like Windows. If there is a problem, operators should suggest the customer contact the other manufacturer, and the operator should report the problem through an STR so Development is made aware of it. Then Development will give Support direction (they might consider a change, they may say tough luck, they may contact the third-party manufacturer to report the problem). With WordPerfect for Windows, any third-party package that is specific for Windows should work (this means the package writes to the Windows .DRV file and often makes screen fonts as well. Some examples are HP's Intellifonts for Windows, Bitstream's FaceLift for Windows, and Adobe Type Manager for Windows). These packages should work because WPWin 5.1 can use either Windows .DRV files or WP 5.1 DOS print files. If a font package writes to the .ALL files like Fontware or Type Director, customers will be able to use those fonts also. A third-party program that was written for WP 5.1 DOS that uses a TSR will not work with WPWin for example, FaceLift, MoreFonts, and Glyphix. |
