WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: What is the difference between FaceLift 2.0 and FaceLift Special Edition (SE) that ships with WordPerfect 5.1+ for DOS? Solutions: The only difference is the Special Edition ships with 11 fonts instead of the 26 fonts that ship with FaceLift 2.0. Question: When you install FaceLift to a printer, FaceLift asks if it is a shared printer. If you are working on a network, what does it do differently if I answer yes or no? Answer: If you answer yes, it will re-initialize the printer each time a different user sends a print job. This avoids font conflicts in the printer's RAM from the different print jobs. Question: Does FaceLift support PostScript printers? Answer: No. FaceLift supports lasers, dot-matrix, and inkjet printers. It also does NOT support the original HP LaserJet printer. Question: Can FaceLift for 5.1+ be loaded on the network? Answer: Yes, by using FLSETUP/N. WPCorp is currently waiting for the User's Guide documentation in soft copy format for Folio. Question: Is this version of FaceLift designed to work only with WP 5.1+? What other programs will it work with? Answer: FaceLift 2.0 will work with 5.x versions of WordPerfect, PlanPerfect, and LetterPerfect. WP 6.0 does not need FaceLift to use Speedo fonts. Question: Do other types of fonts besides Speedo fonts from WP 6.0 work in WP 5.1+? Answer: No, not with FaceLift alone. If you have another type of font manager, then you can use the other font formats (e.g., TrueType, Type 1, Intellifont, etc.). Question: Will the Additional Fonts diskette from WP 6.0 work in WP 5.1+? Answer: There are no Speedo fonts on the Additional Fonts diskette. Additional Speedo fonts for WP 5.1+ or WP 6.0 can be purchased from Bitstream. Question: When do the fonts actually get created from FaceLift? Answer: The fonts are created when the print job is sent. If you use a laser printer, it scales and then downloads them at the time of printing. If you use a dot-matrix printer, it scales and then creates the font graphically. Question: Can dot-matrix printers use their built-in (internal) fonts and Speedo fonts at the same time? Answer: No. Since FaceLift uses its own .PRS file for dot-matrix printers, you can use only the Speedo fonts with the FaceLift .PRS file, and built-in fonts with WordPerfect's .PRS file. The two cannot be combined. With laser printers, you can combine the built-in and Speedo fonts within the same document. One advantage is that the majority of dot-matrix printers do not support landscape printing, but with FaceLift you gain the ability to print landscape because the fonts are generated graphically. Question: Does WP 5.1+ have a /BP startup option? Answer: The equivalent of /BP is found in FaceLift installation under Dot- Matrix/Inkjet temp data. Assuming FaceLift has already been installed, type FLSETUP, Review an Installed Printer, highlight the dot-matrix or inkjet printer to be modified, and press F10. Set the temp data. Question: What WP program file does FaceLift look for during installation? Answer: FaceLift looks at the path and searches for the first WP.EXE file. To correct any problems, edit the path and place WP51 as the first WordPerfect program directory. Question: When I go to install FaceLift to a laser printer, it generates an error saying it can't find the .ALL file. Why? Answer: 1. Make sure that the path to your printer files is set correctly in FaceLift. FaceLift writes the font information to the .ALL files of laser printers and must find them before it can start the installation. 2. If you are working on a network, you may not have the necessary rights. 3. Location of Files in Setup in WP and in FLSETUP should be set to the same printer directory. Question: What does Font Graphics Threshold mean? Answer: This applies to laser printers only. Font Graphics Threshold means that up to a certain font size, FaceLift will create the font as text. Any size of font over the threshold will be created graphically. Bitstream mentioned that 30pt is set for the HP LaserJet + (Plus) printer, but the HP LaserJet Series II printer and above should be set to 130pt. Question: My printer has extra memory added to it. How can I tell FaceLift to use it? Answer: You need to modify the memory allocation in two places: one in FLSETUP|Review Installed Printer|highlight laser printer and press Enter|Change the KBytes for soft font memory. Whatever you allocate here, you must also set in WP under Shift+F7, S, E, 4, Set Memory for Soft Fonts. Question: What is the range of the dot-matrix/inkjet temp data? Answer: 4K to 32K. Question: What should "Print to Hardware Port" be set to when using FaceLift? Why? Answer: It should be set to No. FaceLift monitors WordPerfect's output to LPT1. If Print to Hardware Port is set to yes, then WordPerfect would bypass the BIOS and FaceLift would not see the print job. If FaceLift doesn't see the print job, then it can't generate the fonts. On most dot-matrix and inkjet printers, this will cause the following message to print: "If This Prints, You Have Failed To Run FLWP." Question: If I already have FaceLift for WP 5.1 installed, do I need to install it again for WP 5.1+? Answer: If the printer drivers are NOT being replaced when installing WP 5.1+, then you would not need to reinstall FaceLift. WPCorp recommends that you install FaceLift for WP 5.1+ to get the latest files. If there are fonts that you had with WP 5.1 that are not included with WP 5.1+ then run FLSETUP and select Load Type to install the other fonts. Question: When I install FaceLift for the second time, does it copy over the old .SPD files? Answer: No. If FaceLift finds the .SPD files in the C:\BTFONTS directory with the same name, then it does not copy over them. It simply bypasses them. If there is a problem with an .SPD file, then you need to either rename or delete the file before installation. Question: Does the order of installation of FaceLift and ScreenExtender matter? Answer: No. As long as you install the programs one right after another, it doesn't matter. The only time this is an issue is if you install ScreenExtender and tell it that you are using FaceLift fonts and then you don't install FaceLift fonts. When you start ScreenExtender, it will try to start WordPerfect by using FLWP and it won't find it. Question: Can WP 5.1+ use the .DRS file from WP 6.0 DOS? DrawPerfect? Answer: It cannot use the .DRS file from WP 6.0, but can from DrawPerfect 1.1. It cannot use the .DRS file from Presentations. Question: FaceLift for WP 5.1+ ships with Revue and Ribbon Speedo fonts that are not included in WP 6.0. Can these two fonts work in WP 6.0? Answer: Yes. You just need to run WPFI (WordPerfect Font Installer) within WP 6.0 to install the fonts. Question: What are .SPD files? What are .TDF files? Answer: Each font has two files associated with it. The .SPD files are the outline fonts. The .TDF files are typeface descriptor files. Question: Can you put landscape and portrait fonts on the same page? Answer: Yes, as long as one of the orientations is placed in a graphics box. This will work with both dot-matrix and laser printers. Question: How do I install additional fonts? Will FaceLift support other types of fonts or only Speedo fonts? Answer: FaceLift will install only Speedo fonts. To do this, type FLSETUP, Load Type, specify the drive where the fonts are located. If the fonts are in the C:\BTFONTS directory, then specify C:\ as the drive. If the fonts are in another directory other than C:\BTFONTS, then go back to General Settings and specify the new directory. Question: Is there a way to check and see exactly what printers FaceLift has been installed to? Answer: FLSETUP and Review an Installed Printer. FaceLift will list all dot- matrix, inkjets, or laser printers that it has installed to. Question: What are the memory requirements to run FaceLift? Answer: 89K of conventional memory without expanded memory. If expanded is available, then it will load 16K into conventional memory and the rest (128K) goes to expanded memory. Question: Does FaceLift work with WP 5.1+ running under Windows? What needs to be changed with the .PIF file? Answer: Yes. Modify the .PIF file to allow expanded memory for WordPerfect. Have the .PIF file run FLWP instead of WP to start WordPerfect. Question: Does FaceLift modify the paper sizes with the .PRS file? Answer: No. If you have customized paper sizes for your laser printer, then they will be intact. Because FaceLift uses its own .ALL file for dot-matrix printers, all previously customized paper sizes will not be included. Question: Must you have a .ALL file installed to load FaceLift? Answer: For a laser printer, you need to have the exact .ALL file installed for FaceLift to load. For dot-matrix printers, there still must be a file (any file) in the printer directory with the extension of .ALL. Question: Can you fax using FaceLift fonts? Answer: No. The Fax feature uses the fonts in the .DRS file for output. The fonts included in the WP 5.1+ .DRS file are Helvetica, Times Roman, and Courier. Question: Can I customize my own fonts with FaceLift? Answer: Yes. To customize your fonts type FLSETUP and select Custom Fonts. Select a heavy base typeface. Your options to customize are: Gray: 100% to 0% in increments of 10 Shadow: None, Upper Right, Lower Right, Lower Left, Upper Left Outline: None, Hairline, Normal, Heavy Fill Pattern: Blox, Brick Wall, Bullseye, Checkerboard, Coronet, Dalmation, Deco1, Deco2, Di-Stars, Diamonds, Flowers, Grids, Honeycomb, Horizons, Horizontal Hold, Horizontal Pinstripes, Kaleidescope, Left Medium Slant, Left Slant, Left Think Slant, Mosaic, Pinwheel, Polka Dots, Rain Drops, Rays, Reverse Pinwheel, Right Medium Slant, Roots, Snowflake, Spectrum, Stars, Sundial, Thunder Bolt, Tiles, Trellis, Tri-Stars, Vertical Pinstripe, Zagging, Zigging Fill Scaling: Full-Size, Half-Size, Quarter-Size, Eighth-Size, Sixteenth-Size
