WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: If you print in a scalable font to a Canon LBP III or Canon LBP 4, attributes that use lines, (i.e., underline, double underline, strikeout, and redline) lines affecting normal characters don't line up with the same lines affecting characters in small caps. For example, placing a redline attribute on Small Cap letters prints unevenly and jagged with each space and initial capital letter. The redline is larger for the taller uppercase letters and the spaces that precede them. Solutions: This problem is not printer-specific. The attribute uses the size of the font to measure where the line is going to be placed. When small caps is used, WordPerfect switches from font to font and uses the underline spacing with the current font. The underline will not match because of the changes in the fonts size and the amount of white space between the line and the character. This is a problem with both DOS and Windows applications. Small Caps is generated by setting all letters to uppercase then scaling down all the text that isn't typed in as a capital. The redline is being scaled as well. A customer could use a shaded table cell or graphics box to accomplish the desired appearance. Status: Sent to Development ***|sent to dev|*** Press Enter on link token.
