WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer created a document with the CG Times Roman 9.6 font with Word And Letter Spacing set to 105% of Optimal, and the right justification in the second paragraph is incorrect. However, after the customer changes the font to CG Times Roman 9.5, justification is better. The customer is using the HP LaserJet III printer. How does word and letter spacing work? Solutions: When word and letter spacing is changed, WordPerfect still sends a code for the font used and uses the widths in the PS (proportional spacing) table that were provided for that font. To comply with the spacing asked for, WP calculates the width of each character and multiplies this by the optimal percentage, and sends down a horizontal motion code to the printer for each letter. WP uses these new widths to calculate the word spacing for justification. The problem is with a rounding error that WP is experiencing as it calculates the justification. This is not because of the word and letter spacing code used, but because of the character width information which resides initially in the TFM files provided by AGFA Compugraphics. For more information on the rounding problem, refer to Folio memo P51_2132A.
