Problem

Symptoms: Below are three problems with the Epson LQ-850 with the N9 ROM: 1. Automatic Font Changes for superscript and subscript are not working correctly. In WordPerfect 5.0, the 15cpi font was chosen when using the 10cpi fonts. In WP 5.1, the program chooses 17cpi, which is a taller font. This means that when you have a subscript on one line and a superscript on the line directly below, the superscript and subscript will overlap. They also overlap onto characters that are tall or that descend below the baseline. 2. The initial base font is different in WP 5.1 than it was in WP 5.0 which is causing some problems. 3. The printer doesn't reset after printing in WP. Putting [27]"@" at the End of Print Job fixes the problem and the short tear off form still works. Solutions: As far as the San Serif Font being selected as Roman now, that is the way that the product is designed to work. As far as the Super and Subscript, the problem came back that the program was selecting the fonts within the limits of the AFC selections, and so the program is working as designed. As far as the [27]"@" for a reset code, Development reports that they have tested this, and that the short tear off is disabled when this code is sent to the printer.
