WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: In 5.1 users have a print option to choose the Size Attribute Ratios to print sizes. When using a specific base font in which a size as big as the percentage specified is not available a different type style is used for that font. The customer feels this is a problem because you would have to go into the PTR program to fix the attributes properly; however there is not appropriate documentation with the program that tells you how to do so.
This customer is using Bitstream soft fonts on several HP laser printers. He doesn't want to have to create a huge number of fonts for this capability. He claims that in 5.0 it worked fine because of the fact that if WP couldn't find a larger font to choose from it just wouldn't print that size. 5.1 prints that size but in the wrong style. Solutions: This should be treated as an enhancement since the program is working the way it was designed. We had many users complain that we did not jump to a larger font in another typeface in WP 5.0. I would put in as an enhancement, and perhaps a printer option could be set up in WP to ask users if they want to cross typeface boundaries when generating AFC'S.
