WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The fonts in CGM files exported from Quattro Pro for Windows change in WP. Solutions: This is working as designed. Currently, WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS or Windows converts the fonts in a vector-based graphics image to monospaced Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica fonts. These fonts change and may overwrite other parts of the graphic. See memo 18271W for additional information. These fonts are also not very aesthetically pleasing. This problem will be addressed in a later version of the product. Quattro Pro for Windows users need to export their graphics in CGM or PCX format to use them in WP 5.1 DOS. CGM files will import into WP but will have some problems. The fonts will look poor. Quattro Pro for Windows exports the page background in the same color as the box containing the graphics information. This causes WP to invert the box color. As a result the file prints almost completely black from WP 5.1 for DOS. Customers can work around this by retrieving the CGM file into DrawPerfect and changing the background color of the page to something other than black. The file will then print correctly. PCX files should import and print with no problems. Users need to remember that the file is in bitmapped format, so the graphics box needs to be auto- sized for the best resolution. Some distortion will occur if the user sets the size manually. PCX is the preferred format. Quattro Pro for Windows also has the ability of exporting files in TIFF and EPS graphics formats. These formats will not import into WP because the TIFF information in these files is in version 5.0 or color format. Version 5.0 color TIFF files currently are not supported in WP (see memo 10753T for additional information). Even when the Gray Scale Bitmap option is selected from the Export menu in Quattro Pro for Windows, the files will return the error "Incorrect Format" in WP.
