Typeover - Creating New Spaces Rather Than Re |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer is trying to use Typeover between underline codes. The text moves and creates new spaces rather then typing over on top of the underline. The customer used the Space Bar to create the underline for the document. If they use a Courier 10cpi font, the text that is typed in does not create extra spaces. The extra spaces result only when a proportionally-spaced font is used. Solutions: This is working correctly. The spaces are replaced by the characters being typed, however, the width of the characters are wider than the spaces that they are replacing. This is causing the material that follows to be pushed over. In the Universe 12pt font, the width of a space is 199.97 3600ths of an inch. But an "m" is 522.24 3600ths of an inch and a "W" is 600 3600ths of an inch. Almost all characters in this font are wider than a space. Courier is a fixed pitch font and therefore, all characters are exactly the same width as a space, so each character replaces a space exactly. |
