MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When you use the cartridge version of the Century-PS font on the Xerox 4045, this font will not print out correctly. Word does not have any direct support for the cartridge version of Century-PS. On the Xerox 4045, the same selection sequence is used for both the cartridge version and the downloadable version of all fonts, except for Century-PS.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Because of the size of the Century-PS font, the same character set used for the downloadable version does not fit on a cartridge, so the cartridge version uses a subset of the character set used in the downloadable version, and therefore, requires a different selection sequence.

Xerox 4045 drivers (X4045DLP.PRD and X4045DLL.PRD in Word versions 3.1x and X4045PSP.PRD and X4045PSL.PRD in version 4.00) use the selection sequence for the downloadable version of Century-PS.

If the cartridge version is being used, the control sequences in the Century-PS Font Description Table in the Word printer driver must be altered. The character set selected is indicated in the control sequence by the letter “i” followed by a number. It is this number that may have to be changed. This number is listed as part of the font name on the cartridge or disk.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 3.1x and 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.00.
