The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer's fonts are not spacing the same between two different printers. He has created Times Roman and Helvetica soft fonts for the HP LaserJet Series II printer and the same fonts for the Apple LaserWriter IINTX driver. He did this so that when he creates a document with one printer defined and prints the document to the other printer, the fonts will remain the same and page breaks and line spacing will be the same. This is not happening; the document has different line spacing and page breaks between the two printers. Solutions: The width of the characters for the different printers are not identical. WordPerfect is calculating these widths correctly based on the information that was installed by Adobe into WP's PS tables. For example, the Helvetica 8pt "W" has a width of .1033" in the HP PS table and .1049" in the PostScript PS table. Because the widths are not the same, the lines will not wrap exactly the same.
