WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: This customer converted a WordStar 4.0 file into WP5.1 using the convert program (he was using WS3.3 format). When the document was retrieved into 5.1, he manually put in a Tms Rmn 12 pt (AC) font and printed it. In various places in the document (this does not seem to happen in a pattern) the words and letters compress together, sometimes overlapping each other. If we change to a Courier font, the spacing is fine. View document looks correct using any font. We tried changing the hyphenation zone to 10% & 0%-that didn't work. We tried changing the justification limits to 80% instead of 60%-that didn't work. We turned off the printer and downloaded his AC fonts again-that didn't work. He is sending the WordStar file, both before and after conversion. He is also sending his .SET & .PRS files. Solutions: The problem is in our PS tables for the AC font in 5.1. It is being reported, but in the meantime, we can give the customer a work-around. Note that our customer's problem occurs on lines containing the tilde character. We can get good results by going into the PTR program, into the PS table (HP Tms Roman 12 AD), and changing the width value for the tilde character (0,126) to 42. If he has other fonts in which this is occurring, teach him how to find the font's PS table and make that change for each one. He can get the correct width values from HP, from the 5.0 PS tables, or by trial and error. The steps for making this change are as follows: 1. Go into PTR and Retrieve the .PRS file 2. Highlight the HP Series II and press F6 to retrieve the PS tables 3. Highlight Times Roman 12 point and press Enter 4. Highlight the tilde, press Enter and type 42 and press Enter 5. Exit PTR saving the file |
