Problem

Solutions: A customer requested support for proportional spaced fonts on the IBM Color Printer. It is not practical for WordPerfect to implement this enhancement. For example, to print a full page of plain text in a high quality 10 pitch font, it takes 2 minutes.

As a work around for customers who request this, the following printer command can be added to the top of the document to get proportional fonts. <27>P<1> (Shift-F8, 4, 6, 2, 1) *This information is given as a troubleshooting option.
