= SUMMARY =

The underline of proportionally spaced fonts does not extend to the end of the text when printing to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printer using a Microsoft Z cartridge.

This problem occurs on the Z cartridge because the LaserJet printer expects fonts to be left kerned and the Z cartridge fonts are not defined this way. As a result, the LaserJet printer turns underlining off for a left-kerned font. But, because the Z cartridge does not have left-kerned fonts, the underline ends too soon.

If the printer driver was changed to correct the shortened underline, all non-proportionally spaced and left-kerned proportionally spaced fonts would have an underline that is too long.
