Incorrect Fonts Selected In Conversion From 5 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer converts a WordPerfect 5.0 document to WP 5.1, an asterisk appears by the fonts in the document. The document will not print the fonts until the customer goes into Wp 5.1 and reselects them. The same fonts are in WP 5.1 as are in the document. Solutions: This is more of a conversion problem than a printing problem; however, it is being caused by changes that have been made to the printer drivers. In early releases of WP 5.0, the way that the Roman typeface (for an example) was described to WP for one printer driver did not necessarily match the way that the Roman typeface was described for another driver. As WordPerfect came closer to WP 5.1, the driver writers started to adopt standards that would make typeface descriptions match for all printers. In other words, if a font on an Epson printer used a Roman typeface, its description would be identical to the description of a Roman typeface for a PostScript printer. (If the Roman typefaces weren't exactly the same, separate typeface descriptions and names were created to maintain uniformity.) Even though it is possible to change the customer's WP 5.1 driver to contain the same Roman typeface description as the WP 5.0 driver, this isn't advised. It would only cause more problems as the customer tried to retrieve WP 5.1 documents now, and then in the future if the customer tried to send documents to someone who may want to print them from WP 5.1 in a different location. Or, imagine if the customer had a problem with the printer driver and got an update. The customer would have to do the same thing all over again! Now that things are being done more consistently, and will remain with these standards as WP moves into the future, have the customer try to be patient until the WP 5.0 documents are cleaned up. |
