The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer wants to know why specific features do not convert perfectly between the PC and Macintosh (Mac) platforms such as Line Height, Figure Box borders, Graphic Lines, Table border lines, and fonts. Solutions: Line Heights convert closely but not exactly because the Macintosh calculates Line Heights the same as WordPerfect 5.0 did in that there is a two-points difference for leading. Line Height is calculated in 1600ths on the PC and in 72nds on the Macintosh. Also, the Mac has standardized font names where on the PC a Times Roman font on an HP printer is not necessarily the same typeface as a Times Roman font on a Linotronic printer.
