Problem

Solutions: There are some inconsistencies when using the IBM-PC character set generated by Bitstream version 3.0. Characters 1-31 will sometimes not print on some HP LaserJet Series II's or compatibles. There are two ways this can be addressed: The first way is to delete the character strings in the character map in the PTR program. WordPerfect will then create the character graphically using the .DRS file. The second way is to place the code [27]"&p1X" before the character strings. For example: as string that reads [7] would now read [27]"&p1X" [7]. This code causes the character to be translated correctly to the printer. (See memo P51_492 for steps to put this code into a global variable.)
