Problem

Symptoms: When printing French characters using the Times Roman font from the F cartridge, the accents are printed too high above the letter on the HP LaserJet Series II printer. The user has the 11/06/89 printer release date. Solutions: The accent character on the Times Roman typeface on the F cartridge is positioned higher in the cell than the one created for the Courier typeface. The result he sees on his printout is the result of WP using this character as a diacritical. WP horizontally moves the accent over a lower case ASCII character. We do not move it vertically unless it is uppercase. He has been given the option to delete the string for the accent from the printer's character map. This will cause the international characters to be printed graphically. He does have some of the international characters internal on that font's roman 8 set. These characters were left off so that WP's accented characters would be consistent where the accent was printed. The user also has the option of mapping out these characters. These are the characters and values he can add to the HP Roman 8 character map, MAP 1: This will be given by (CHARACTER/DECIMAL VALUE) format (29/192) (30/216) (31/204) (33/200) (41/197) (43/193) (45/205) (47/201) (59/198) (61/194) (63/206) (65/202) (67/199) (69/195) (71/207) (73/203) Another option the user has to fix the problem is to enter the PTR program, retrieve in his ALL file, edit his printer, choose Fonts, and the HP LaserJet Format (cartridge library), and then edit all (F) fonts, and under Miscellaneous Questions mark: Diacritics are positioned vertical for Upper case Letters. Exit, save, and Update (Shift-F7, s, 7). Note: As of the 8/24/90 printer release, the accented characters in the F cartridge are mapped, so users with that date or later should no longer have this problem.
