HP LaserJet Series II Underline Rather Than I |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When doing bold and italics on a line of text it underlines rather that printing in italics. The user has selected both the N and B cartridges and is using Letter Gothic 12 cpi as her initial font. It will print italics by itself, but when we select bold with it, it doesn't print italics. Solutions: The problem here is in the Automatic Font Changes. Since both the normal font and the Bold font have the Italic font as their Italic AFC, WP is sort of stuck. It knows that, when in a bold font and a request is made for italics, one or the other has got to go. (No HP cartridge that I know of has a proper Bold Italic font, only the two separated.) Now, it's easier to "simulate" the italics with an underline than it is to simulate bold with anything else, so that's what happens: WP remains in the bold font, and simply turns on underlining. You can do the following to get around this: 1. Type PTR at the proper DOS prompt and retrieve the *.PRS file. 2. Press Enter on the Printer Name. 3. Go to Fonts and press Enter. 4. Go to the regular base font and unmark the Bold AFC font. 5. Unmark the Bold AFC font for the Italic font in question, also. Thus, the Bold font is never used as an AFC, and WordPerfect does all the bolding itself by printing the text over itself 3 times. That way, if you're bolding regular text, you get regular text overprinted three times. If you're bolding italic text, you get italic text overprinted three times. The only problem would come up if the customer ever chose the Bold font as a base font and then used the Italic attribute on it. (Because of that, you may actually want to just delete the Bold font from the driver entirely!) 6. When you are done, press F7 to save and exit the file. |
