Has anyone else experienced/solved a problem with Brother HL8 (original not 8e) printers and WordPerfect 5.1 with the BitStream Font kit. For some weird reason, when using fonts based on the IBM PC character set, characters 155 through 159 (cent, pound, yen, peseta, florin) just print out as spaces. Part of the problem may be that the standard WP supplied driver is for HL8e which has LaserJetII emulation compared to LaserJet+ on HL8. However, using the LaserJet+ driver gives the same problem. Everything else works fine, it's just those five characters. The print driver looks fine and if you hook in a real HP LaserJetII it prints all the characters.
