WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the Epson LQ-800 printer and is only able to access the Roman fonts. The customer can get several fonts to print with other programs. The left margin for the Roman Italic fonts seem to be different than normal. Solutions: As for the first problem, there is nothing WordPerfect can do short of rewriting the program to accommodate printing several different typefaces. The other programs that were printing these fonts were printing them graphically. The customer may want to check into third-party font programs that will provide the font flexibility desired within WP. As for the second problem, when different characters are typed on subsequent lines using normal and then italic text, the design of the characters gives an optical illusion that the left margin is different. If several different fonts are selected on the left margin, and the character H is typed on each line, the base of the H will line up exactly on every line. The distance from the left margin is measured to the base of the character, not the top of the character. A character, such as a T, will appear to be ragged on the margin even though it is not.
