The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
 * Microsoft Windows 3.1
 * Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 5.0

SUMMARY
The PRINTER.WRI files from the following retail packages containing Windows 3.1 incorrectly document a WIN.INI switch called TTFavor=<0-or-1>:


 * Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11
 * Microsoft Windows & MS-DOS 5 for IBM PS/2

The correct switch is FavorTT=<0-or-1>.

In Windows 3.1, the FavorTT setting must be placed in the [ModelName,Port] section of the WIN.INI file, not in the [PostScript,Port] section. For example:

  Correct:        [Apple LaserWriter II NTX,LPT3] advflags=696 header=1 FavorTT=1 Incorrect:     [PostScript,LPT1] ATM=placeholder FavorTT=1

FavorTT=<0-or-1> [default: 0]
If a request for a font can be equally satisfied by both a device font or a TrueType font, use the TrueType font if FavorTT is set to 1. Otherwise use a device font.

These ties can easily occur. For example, if the application requests Tms Rmn but only Times and Times New Roman are available, this is considered a tie.
