WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Bitstream Facelift is a font generation program that creates fonts on the fly for Hewlett Packard LaserJet printers (and compatibles). It falls into the same category as Glyphix and Powerpak, and Facelift gives your printer simulated Postscript printing capabilities.

Installation
If a customer has Facelift for both WordPerfect and Windows, they must install the Windows Facelift first or they will have problems.

Networks
If the customer is using a CAPTURE command on the network, they must be sure that they are using the /NT startup switch.

Running WordPerfect with Facelift
At the WordPerfect directory, type FLWordPerfect.

The customer must go into Cartridges and Fonts by pressing, Shift F-7, 3 Edit, 4 Cartridges/Fonts/Print Wheels, highlight Softfonts, and mark the Facelift fonts with an asterisk (*).

Fontware will take up about 50K of conventional memory. This will cause strange things to happen with View Document, shelling out, and use of hotkeys from other TSRs. This is not a problem. It is simply a matter of not enough memory.

To use startup options, place a SET command in the customer's AUTOEXEC.BAT file (e.g., SET WordPerfect=/32).

Adding Additional Fonts
Customers may purchase more fonts from Bitstream. Any fonts that came with the Bitstream Fontware Starter Kit available through WordPerfect, CANNOT be used.

Other Bitstream fonts that were used previously, may be used only if there is a diamond on the diskette label.

Type LOADTYPE at the WordPerfect prompt to add more typefaces.

Advanced Installation Menu
Before attempting to change any settings, type FLSETUP/X at the WordPerfect prompt.

How Often Fonts Are Remade:
Set to 0 to have fonts made once. This is the preferred setting for stand alone machines.

Set to 1 to have fonts remade each time you print. This is the correct setting for networks.

Set to 2 to have fonts remade for every page. Use this setting for a stand alone computers, or networks that run out of memory at the printer. This option prints very slowly, but may help with memory problems.

Maximum Temporary Fonts:
This is the number of fonts that can be used in one document. Set to 32 for LaserJet, +, 500+, Series II. The setting may be higher for LaserJet IIP, IID, III, IIID.

Point Size For Graphics Mode:
Facelift creates softfonts. Large point sizes, however, can take up more memory than just printing the text in a graphics mode. This number is the point size where fonts will be created graphically. Printing graphically is always slower than softfonts, so if the printer has a great deal of memory, you may want to set this number higher. If the printer has limited memory, keep this number small. The default is 20.

Use Ems:
If the customer has expanded memory, this option should be set to YES. This may free up enough memory for View Document or other features.

Terminate And Stay Resident:
If this is NO, the customer is required to type FLWordPerfect to start WordPerfect with Facelift every time. (Facelift is removed from memory when the customer exits WordPerfect). If this is set to YES, then the customer only has to type FLWordPerfect the first time they enter WordPerfect. Facelift will be left resident so subsequent program sessions can be started by typing just WordPerfect.

Hook DOS Device Drivers:
This should be set to YES if the customer is using Windows, Deskview, or Print to Hardware.

Font Conversion
According to the Facelift manual, when old Fontware documents are retrieved, the fonts may not automatically switch to an appropriate Facelift font. Bitstream suggests that you do not delete your Facelift fonts until you have retrieved your old Fontware documents and changed the fonts manually.
