Problem

Symptoms: The font named Albertus Semi-Bold from the HP WordPerfect Scalable cartridge does not do outline correctly. The text that prints is outlined but the shape of the font is similar to a thick Universe font. The word spacing of the font is correct so characters overlap each other in adjacent words. Solutions: The problem is the Semi Bold font has a HP font weight of 1. Since this weight is not supported in any typeface attribute by WP, the code has to be placed manually into the load and select string for the font ( [27]"(s1B" ). This command needs to go at the end of the Load and Select expression. When outline is turned on, the driver switches to HPGL to perform the outline. Since the weight of the font is not available, when the font code is sent again, the wrong bold weight code is sent ( [27](s2B ). This is the reason why a different font is selected when outline is chosen. This also occurs with the other Bold scalable fonts listed on the cartridge. This limitation will be overcome in the next version of WP.
