Fonts - Why Is An Asterisk Placed In Front Of |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Why does WordPerfect display an asterisk in front of a font name in a document? The asterisk is shown in Reveal Codes. Solutions: When a document is retrieved into WP, the printer driver associated with the document is used in selecting the document's fonts. Everywhere that a font is used in the document, a font descriptor data packet is stored in the document. The data packet contains important information that WP uses in determining what font to select for the document. The most important are: Optimal Width, Cap Height, X Height, Descender Height, Italic Adjustment, Typeface Descriptor, and Point Size. When the document is retrieved into WP and the .PRS printer file is opened, WP tries to match the data packets with the font descriptors stored in the .ALL printer file. If WP does not match all items listed above with a font, WP will find the closest font available and put an asterisk beside it. The asterisk is the way the program notifies the user that the exact font selected originally in the document was not available. |
