Problem

Symptoms: The customer prints to an HP LaserJet III. When using the underscore character to underline spaces (rather than using the Underline feature), word spacing is incorrect. The two words directly after the line overlap. I can duplicate this problem on the 3/30/90 and the 6/22/90 printer drivers. Solutions: I was able to track the problem down to the HP LaserJet III printer. I have found it to be a width scaling problem with only the underscore character, when using scalable fonts, and only when the font is scaled below 12pt. This was not a WP problem. HP will now be looking into this problem.
