= SUMMARY =

Word versions 4.00 and above provide support for the AC/AE and AD/AF HP LaserJet soft-font sets with HPDWNSFP/L.PRD and HPDWNR8P/L.PRD, respectively. The AC and AD sets contain even point sizes and the AE and AF sets contain odd sizes. This change in the drivers from Word version 3.10 to version 4.00 means that you will often be prompted to download a point size from the AE or AF set when formatting for small caps even though you only have the AC or AD set. This is due to the way the algorithm that selects the small caps point size works.

If you don’t want to purchase the AE or AF set, the workaround is to use MERGEPRD and strip out the odd point sizes in the HPDWNSFP/L or HPDWNR8P/L driver. The small caps algorithm will then come up only with an even point size.
