WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: This customer was using Bitstream Prestige Elite soft fonts in 4.2. He has now upgraded to 5.1. All of his documents have line draw throughout them. For example, each page has a box around it where the margins fall as well as boxes around selected text on the page itself. In WP 4.2 it took about 27 seconds to print out one page of one of these documents. In WP 5.1 it takes over nine minutes. WP had used vector graphics for the line draw characters in earlier versions of 5.0 and now uses bit-mapped graphics in 5.1.

Thus, the customer went into the PTR program and copied the character map from the WPHP2.ALL file for the Panasonic KX-P4450, (which has vectored command strings for these line draw characters like in WP 5.0) and copied this character map to the WPHP1.ALL file. The customer then went into the WPHP1.ALL file and marked the Line Draw font as using this character map. This allowed line draw from Courier and Line Draw base fonts to print in about 27 seconds like it did in earlier versions of WP. However, when he also marked the Bitstream Prestige Elite font (10 Point 12 Pitch) to use the same character map, it still took about nine minutes to print the document. He has the 1/05/90 release of the HP LaserJet II printer driver. Solutions: This now prints faster.
