Word 5.00: Printing Problems w/ Third-Party Downloadable Fonts
PSS ID Number: Q71035 Article last modified on 11-02-1994
5.00
MS-DOS
SUMMARY
In most cases, third-party font manufacturers that make fonts, printer drivers (PRDs), and DAT files for a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet compatible printer base the printer drivers that their font creation programs make on an early form of a Microsoft Word version 5.00 printer driver that supports HP LaserJet printers. Because several deficiencies exist in these early printer drivers, incorrect output, printing idiosyncrasies, and other printing problems may occur.
Examples of such font-creation programs are as follows:
Font Creation Program Manufacturer ——————— ————
Bitstream Fontware Bitstream Type Director Hewlett-Packard Glyphix SWFTE International
MORE INFORMATION
Once the printer drivers have been created by the font creation program, several modifications can be made to these PRD files to bring them up to current specifications.
The following changes must be made to the appropriate PRD file using the MakePRD utility supplied with Word. First, convert the PRD file to a text file. Make the following changes, then convert the text file back to a PRD file.
In the model block for the LaserJet Series II, change the ColorFlags value to 128, change the LinedrawAdjust value to 40, and change the UnprintableLeft value to 320.
In the model block for the LaserJet 2000, LaserJet IID, and (if you have it) the LaserJet IIP, change the ColorFlags value to 128, and change the LinedrawAdjust value to 60.
In the PCSD section, change byte:8, byte:14, byte:92, byte:96, byte:108, and byte:112 to the following:
byte:8 mod:4 magic:0 value:0 “^[&l” byte:14 mod:0 “p0e0L” byte:92 mod:8 “^[&l1o6d0e0L” byte:96 mod:0 “^[&l0o6D” byte:108 mod:8 “^[&l1o” byte:112 mod:0 “a6h6d0e0L”
