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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using Bitstream 3.0 for WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 on the HP LaserJet Series II printer. The customer also has the Bitstream Module (created by HP) for the HP LaserJet III printer. The typefaces are the same; however, some fonts are bitmapped where others are scalable. When the customer selects the HP LaserJet III printer in documents created for the HP LaserJet Series II printer, the fonts are changed to the internal fonts of the HP LaserJet III printer. The user wants WP to select the scalable Bitstream fonts instead. Solutions: WP selects the internal fonts over the Bitstream fonts because of the algorithm used to compare the font descriptions. The font description given to the HP LaserJet III printer by Bitstream is different enough that WP thinks the internal fonts are a closer match. The problem lies with Bitstream's description of the fonts. There is no way to change the selections through the PTR Program.
