WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer would like to change the font and size that is being used for the Small Caps attribute. How does WordPerfect determine which font will be used for the Small Caps? Solutions: If no true small caps font is available, WP takes the base font and uses it for the uppercase letters. All lowercase letters will be accessed by a font that is 80% smaller than the base font. This is easy to see if you are using a scalable font (e.g., if the base font is CG Times 10pt, the uppercase letters will print in CG Times 10pt, and the lowercase characters will print in CG Times 8pt.) The percentage is fixed in the program. Currently, there is no way to change the program. The only way to change the font is through the PTR program. This is difficult if you are using a scalable font. Please refer to memo P51_1688C in the PRINT51 infobase for additional information on making changes in the PTR program.
