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

Problem

Symptoms: On the HP DeskJet printer, using the "P" cartridge (any font) the lower case "f" has far too much space after it. This customer had to go into the PTR program and change it to 80% and now it looks fine but he does not want to have to do that every time for every font. Also, the italics fonts are too far spread out--off the "P" cartridge. Solutions: We could duplicate what the customer is saying about the extra spacing after the "f". We could also duplicate this at DOS by changing the font on the control panel of the printer. WordPerfect does not change initially change the spacing between each character, just between words. We have PS tables in the PTR telling WordPerfect the space that should be taken up by each character so WP can put the correct amount of space between the words. When you use the optimal spacing WP recalculates the entire line. The italic font does have wider spacing than one would usually desire on the DeskJet due to the fact that this printer cannot do a back space, which is a printer limitation.
