Problem

Symptoms: When the customer goes into Select Printer: Built-in fonts for the IBM PS/1 printer, he finds PS fonts listed. When he goes into Base Font or Document: Initial Base Font, the PS fonts are not listed. Should he have PS fonts available to him? Solutions: Because of a hardware problem, WPCorp was not able to support the internal PS fonts on the IBM PS/1 printer. The developer left the fonts in the printer driver, so that when IBM corrected the printer fault, WPCorp could make them available to customers. The developer marked the fonts in the driver, so that they would not show up when selecting a base font. The problem has now been corrected by IBM, but WPCorp's Development Department doesn't know how to tell the difference in the old ROM and the new ROM.

If a customer believes that they have a new ROM and would like to have the PS fonts available for them to use, you can do the following:
NOTE: These changes should only need to be made on printer drivers dated 11/09/90 or earlier.

1.      Enter the PTR program and retrieve the PRS file
2.      Go to Fonts and press Enter
3.      Move to the Prestige PS fonts at the bottom of the list

NOTE: The following steps need to done for all PS fonts if the customer wants to be able to use them in WP.

4.      Press Enter on one of the Prestige fonts and move to Quality, then press Enter
5.      Mark High and Medium with an * (asterisk), then press F7 to back up one menu
6.      Now highlight Misc. Questions and press Enter
7.      Move to "Don't Use For Automatic Font Changes Or Substitute Fonts" and press Backspace to delete the * (asterisk)
8.      Exit and save the file
