Problem

Symptoms: The customer is having trouble printing French characters. These French characters generated graphically are printing incorrectly. The accent is being printed to the left of the character. Solutions: This problem applies to many printers. WordPerfect is attempting to create this character from the text characters that are within the printer and the accent below graphically. The misalignment occurs because the text and the graphic accent use a different method of horizontal movement. The text horizontal placement can be off by as much as a character because the text uses a regular space for movement between words. The graphic accent uses a graphic movement that is much more accurate. No change can be made to the driver to correct this problem that would not result in a dramatic slow down in printing speed. A change to the PTR program which would allow the printer driver writer to force WordPerfect to make the whole character graphically has been suggested. If you have a customer complaining about this problem, please write up an enhancement request.
