SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following message when you attempt to prepare codepage 852 for the printer:

Device or codepage missing from font file.



CAUSE
MS-DOS version 5.0 introduced support for codepage 852. The codepage information (.CPI) files for the display device (EGA.CPI and LCD.CPI) were updated to support this codepage. The codepage information files for the printers (4201.CPI, 4208.CPI, and 5202.CPI) were not updated to support this codepage. Therefore, you receive the error message when you attempt to prepare the codepage for the printer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a limitation of MS-DOS version 5.0. This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release of MS-DOS.
