Problem

Symptoms: A customer has an HP LaserJet printer and a Procollection cartridge. When she uses a font from the cartridge, the document prints very slow. These same documents print out quickly in 5.0 and quickly in 5.1 when an internal Courier font is selected. Solutions: All of the fonts on the cartridge are PS fonts, and because of the placement of the character in the cell, there is a character cell adjust in the font's size and spacing information. This will cause additional horizontal motion codes to be sent between each word as it readjusts the text. The size of a normal text file will approximately double in size if you go from a fixed pitch font to a PS font that uses character cell adjust. This additional information is just enough to see a pause on a XT computer as it processes twice the information. The speed of a 286 and 386 computer processes the additional information so fast you should not notice the pause. With the XT computer you will notice it more because of the overall processing time to send the data.
