I seem to be having minor trouble generating PostScript with WordPerfect 5.0. I have by far had the best luck in printing on networked Apple LaserWriters with WordPerfect 5.0. However, I still am having one minor glitch with this set-up. At certain times, WordPerfect reverts to Courier 12 no matter what font I have set in the printer set-up. At first, I though this was only when I had certain fonts which weren't available selected. Now, it seems that this happens even when I have a font selected that has worked before. For instance, I had been using Helvetica 12 with consistent success, but it suddenly reverted to Courier 12 again. The only difference in my two test documents, one which was Helvetica 12 and one which wound up as Courier 12 was that the Courier 12 document was much longer. But this experiment isn't always reproducible. It is not just the fault of the printer- I have actually checked the PostScript source and it is indeed setting Courier 12 at random times. I have run out of places to look... What causes WordPerfect to suddenly revert to Courier 12?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Kurt Kurt Geisel SNAIL : Carnegie Mellon University 65 Lambeth Dr. ARPA : kg19+@andrew.cmu.edu Pittsburgh, PA 15241 UUCP : uunet!nfsun!kgeisel "I will not be pushed, filed, indexed, stamped, BIX : kgeisel briefed, debriefed, or numbered!" - The Prisoner

I have not encountered this problem yet with our newly upgraded Wordperfect 5.0. We did have some problems with it before it was upgraded. WordPerfect Corp. sent the upgrade package to us in Feb. (the files are dated 01/15/1989). If you have not receive this upgrade package (maybe you already received it), you better give WP a call. --- Qiwu Liu University of Kansas
