SUMMARY
Character descenders in tables are cut off when printed with the Adobe PostScript cartridge on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet II when Adobe's Font Foundry software is installed.

Occasionally, the tops and bottoms of ascending or descending characters may be clipped on the screen; however, they will print correctly. For more information on this, query on the words:

MORE INFORMATION
The Adobe PostScript cartridge comes with PostScript software, which includes Font Foundry. The Font Foundry installation generates .PFM font metrics files and inserts corresponding soft font lines into the printer section of the WIN.INI file as follows:

  Softfonts=n Softfont1=c:\psfonts\pfm\po__10H.pfm,c:\pclfonts\po__10H.sfp Softfont2=c:\psfonts\pfm\po__12h.pfm,c:\pclfonts\po__12h.sfp ...  Softfontn=c:\psfonts\pfm\po_____.pfm,c:\pclfonts\po_____.sfp These files are not necessary to print with the PostScript cartridge from Windows and Word for Windows. These soft font lines should be removed from the WIN.INI file for the text to print properly in tables in Word for Windows.
