SYMPTOMS
When you are using an Okidata ML 320 or ML 380 IBM printer to print a test page with the Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) drivers, the print is small. This behavior does not occur in Microsoft Windows 95.



CAUSE
Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition use the Cour.ttf (Courier New) font as the default font. The smallest pitch for this font is 8.

Windows 95 uses Courier.fon as the default font with a pitch of 10.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:  Click Start, click Shut Down, click Restart in MS-DOS Mode, and then click OK. Change to the Windows\Fonts folder. Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:

attrib -r -s -h courf.fon

attrib -r -s -h cour.ttf

ren cour.ttf cour.old

copy courf.fon cour.ttf

exit
