WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using Bitstream fonts for 5.0/5.1. He created 9.5, 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5 pt fonts. Then went into PTR and deleted all of the other fonts out of the printer definition, including the internal fonts. He went back into WP and calculated the percent changes in the fonts using the 11.5 pt. font as base. Then he entered these percentages into the size/attribute settings in Setup, expecting the program to automatically select them from the point sizes he had created. The results he got seemed inconsistent with the way the program should work.

To test it further, he set all of the attributes to 100% in Setup and re- selected the printer and tried again. Supposedly, the program should have selected the 11.5 pt. font for all of the attributes, but it didn't. It selected the 14.5 pt. font for the large, very lrg, and extra lrg. Solutions: I tested this and duplicated the problem. The inconsistencies have been fixed in the interim release after 03/30/90.

It is also important to note that the program will always look for a larger font, i.e for the Large attribute, even if you have that percentage set at 100% in the Print Options menu. So, if I have Large set to 100%, and two fonts of size 11pt and 10pt, and
my base font is 10pt, WP will choose the 11pt as my AFC.
