The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user has updated to a newer release date. Now with this new update whenever there is a "fi" in his document the ligature compose character 4,54 is substituted in his document. This substitution doesn't appear in Reveal Codes; it only appears in View Document and on the printed text. This seems to only occur when he uses his downloadable soft fonts on his HP LaserJet Series II, but also occurs on all PostScript fonts on his HP LaserJet III PostScript printer. Solutions: This was an enhancement added to the 12/31/90 release of the program. If Kerning (1) is set to Yes in the Format: Printer Functions menu (Shift-F8, 4, 6), and if the current font supports ligatures (character numbers 50-54 [ff, ffi, ffl, fi, fl] in character set 4), WordPerfect replaces character strings sent to the printer with those ligatures. For example, the word "official" would print using the ligature for the "ffi". This enhancement affects all fonts including fixed pitch fonts.
