WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user grabbed a Harvard Graphics graph using GRAB.COM. When the GRAB.WPG prints in WordPerfect, the font is a "Star Wars" block-looking font, rather than the original font. Solutions: There are two factors which will affect the visual outcome of a grabbed image: 1. The color of the text in Harvard affects how WP converts the image. If the color is something other than black, then WP will halftone the image to represent the color. 2. Medium graphics quality is the default in WP. If the screen captures fonts without Graphics Quality set to High, the fonts look like blocked fonts. Other than these two factors, the exact representation of the font from Harvard graphics was printed. It is strongly recommended that the user actually export the graphic image from Harvard Graphics in a format that WP supports. This will result in better overall quality of the image when printed from WP. The screen capture utility is limited by the resolution of the graphics card and the monitor being used.
