WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the Compose character 1,105 (d with a circumflex). Program releases 11/06/89 through 08/20/90 work correctly when using this character. The 12/31/90 and 05/31/91 releases produce a character that does not look at all like what you see in the character set within the manual. The character looks like a d with an apostrophe (') next to it, and the character is printing very light. There seems to be similar problems with characters 1,146; 1,147; and 1,183. Solutions: The problem with the above mentioned characters printing incorrectly has been reported to Development. This situation, however, has been given a low priority, and it may not be corrected until a future version of the program. If this situation generates a large amount of calls, please take the necessary steps to include this problem on the common call list. The problem with the characters printing light is due to a change in the program. Before the 12/31/91 release, WordPerfect used a break table to combine these characters using the ASCII character and overstriking with a diacritical. Any diacritical that was not positioned in the center was exhibiting overstriking problems. A change to the program was needed to make these characters print graphically. If the customer would like to use the character as it was printed in previous releases, they can use the Overstrike feature. For example, to print character 1,105 with the Overstrike feature, the customer can use the following keystrokes: 1. Press Format (Shift-F8), Other (4), Overstrike (5), Create (1). 2. Then, press Compose (Ctrl-V), and type 1,19 and then type in a d as the character to overstrike.
