- I recently upgraded from Wordperfect 5.1 for Windows to the new 5.2.
- I'm having some *new* problems with 5.2 - enough to make me want to
- go back to 5.1. I've already called WP about it, and they haven't
- heard of these bugs - please let me know if you've seen them.
-
- The major problem occurs with Truetype fonts and Windows drivers.
- I have a document with 3 identical lines of text in it. The first
- line is in vanilla Ariel. The second line is the same, but with the
- bold attribute applied (eg, [BOLD]This is the line of text[bold] in
- the Reveal Codes window). The third line is in the explicit
- Ariel Bold font.
-
- The first and third lines print fine. The second line, rather than
- being identical to the third line (as it should be), has the
- Ariel Bolded characters, but the character spacing matches the
- vanilla (unbolded) Ariel, making the spacing scruntched up and
- basically awful looking.
-
- The 2nd and 3rd lines look identical in the Editing window, but this
- error appears both on the printed page and in the Print Preview mode.
- Also: I've tried several different printer drivers - HPIIIP, Universal,
- Postscript - all fail identically. I've rebuilt my .WRS files to
- no avail. I have also enabled/disabled "Print Truetype Fonts as Graphics"
- with no effect.
-
- This experiment works fine on ATM fonts. I never had this problem with
- WP4WIN 5.1.
-
- A related problem occurs with the Italic attribute. Character spacing
- incorrectly matches the Upright font, instead of the Italic font. But
- there's an additional problem I see with this: text with the Italic
- attribute [ITALIC]text[italic] displays as Upright in the Print Preview
- window.
-
- Any ideas?
