WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: In view document you will not get all type faces to show up correctly. With most graphics cards you will only get 3 or 4 type faces (Courier, Times Roman, and Helvetica). They will however imitate the font in all other ways as closely as possible (ie. point size and whether it is bold or italics).

View Document is primarily based on information contained in the available DRS file (WP.DRS or WPSMALL.DRS). The DRS files shipped with WP contain information for only three typefaces: courier, helvetica, and times roman. This is not dependent on the graphics card; all cards will display the same three typefaces, since those are the only three available.

When determining which typeface will represent which font, WP reads information from the PRS file and then makes a best match. (This is basically the same with text in graphics files, except the information is read from the graphics file.) Other attributes are also read from the PRS (or graphics) file to determine height, width, slant, weight, etc. and these are imitated as closely as possible in View Document. Generally, the later the program version, the better the match.
