Type Director - Dingbat Characters And Autofo |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Not all Dingbat characters are supported when using Autofont support with Type Director. The customer has the HP Decorative Words font package (used with Type Director - Autofont support) and is trying to use the Dingbat 100, 200, and 300 series. The characters that print for these Dingbat fonts do not match up with the characters that are in the documentation that came with the font package. The problem is that WordPerfect is selecting other Dingbat fonts as substitute fonts. However, after eliminating the substitute font changes in PTR, WP did not switch to the other Dingbat series to print the characters. Solutions: The Environment option found when running Type Director allows the user to choose an application. With Type Director, there are two applications that can be used with WP 5.1. The first is Autofont Support. When selecting this application and creating fonts, the user must run PTR/Autofont in order to get the fonts installed into the .ALL file. The second is a specific application for WP 5.1. If the customer does not have this option, the customer will need to call HP to get it. With this application selected, the customer makes the fonts and exits Type Director and HP automatically installs the fonts into the selected .ALL file. PTR/Autofont does not handle multiple ITC Zapf Dingbat Series characters as well as Type Director does when using the WP 5.1 application. When using Autofont, WP uses the Ventura Zapf Dingbats series to determine the placement of characters in character set 12. If a character does not match Ventura it is left out. For now, the customer has the option of using the WP 5.1 application. Status: Enhance ***|enhance|*** Press Enter on link token. |
