DocumentID: 645415
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:19:05 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: This customer, like several others, would like to have WordPerfect choose a specific point size for the Small Caps attribute. The customer is using the HP LaserJet III printer and selecting the CG Times 12pt font as the base font. The customer would like WP to select the CG times 8pt font for Small Caps. WP is currently using a 10pt font for Small Caps. As a possible work around, the customer tried adding a CG Times 8pt font into the printer .ALL file. Then, the customer chose the 8pt font as the Automatic Font Change (AFC) for Small Caps. However, when the customer printed a document, the new AFC was ignored. The Small Caps still printed in the 10pt font. Solutions: The problem with the font selection for Small Caps has been entered into the Enhancement (program) database.
