WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user's .CGM and .PIX files created with the ZenoGraphics Pixie program have a blue background. In the ZenoGraphics Pixie program, this blue background does not show up. The customer used GRAPHCNV.EXE (version 1.1) to convert the file. Another customer is exporting CGM files from Mirage Graphics by ZenoGraphics. The text in the CGM file is importing incorrectly. Letters with holes in them (like D's) are solid black without holes after they are imported. Solutions: This was directly related to the SWISS Font used by ZenoGraphics. The Customer updated the ZenoGraphics to ver. 2.0, which used Bitstream fonts, and with the new fonts this does not occur. Still, if the customer uses the SWISS Font from ver. 1.1 in ver. 2.0, this problem still occurs in ver. 2.0 of ZenoGraphics. WordPerfect has no control over the SWISS Font, but does handle .CGM and .PIX formats correctly. The user can either update the ZenoGraphics or not use the SWISS font. The text in the CGM files is being imported from ZenoGraphics as polygon objects, and they are drawing one polygon for the outside of the letter, and a second polygon for the hole. Both polygons are being filled black. The one for the hole in the letter should be filled white. This is a problem with the export from Mirage. ZenoGraphics is aware of the problem. Customers can contact ZenoGraphics for information on modifying the CGM export filter for Mirage so that the text is exported as CGM Text rather than polygons. This way the text will be imported using the WP stick fonts.
