Font Substitution

 

Documents when converted may appear different. Characters may appear larger or smaller, may not look the same as the original document. The paragraph, line, and character spacing may be changed as well causing the document to be less or more in pages than the original. This may be caused by font substitution.

 

Font substitution may occur when the original font is no longer available and WordPerfect replaces the font with once that matches it the closest.

 

Reasons Fonts May Be Substituted:

 

The Font is a Printer Font

A printer font is a font installed to the printer memory or font cartridge allowing the printer to print a specific font. It is recommended that these fonts be replaced.

How to Replace Fonts Using WordPerfect Document converter

WordPerfect Document Converter has the ability to detect and replace specific fonts found in a document with another font. It can replace the default font or a font change in the document. It can do this through a WordPerfect macro that is set to run on all documents found in WordPerfect.

 

The font may not exist on the computer

Font substitution may occur when the original font is no longer available and WordPerfect replaces the font with once that matches it the closest. The font may have been deleted or not added after a computer reinstallation.

When a document is moved from one machine or printer to another, it is important to know what fonts are available in the printer or system. If a font used in the original document is not available on the destination system, either you're out of luck or the font must be included with the file, which will increase the file size tremendously.

Steps to install TrueType® fonts from the Control Panel:

  1. Click on Start | Settings | Control Panel.
  2. Double-click on the Fonts folder.
  3. Click on File | Install New Font to access the Add Fonts dialogue box.
  4. Change to the drive and folder that contains the TTF files on the Corel® WordPerfect® Office CD. This would be: D:\Corel\Fonts\ttf\ where D: is the drive containing the CD.
  5. Fonts are listed alphabetically in folders-one for each letter of the alphabet. Double-click on the appropriate folder to retrieve a list of font names. For example, if you want to install the Balloon font, double-click on the «b» folder.
  6. To select multiple fonts within a folder, hold down the Ctrl key and highlight (single-click) all desired fonts.
  7. Make sure that "Copy Fonts To Fonts Folder" is checked.
  8. Click on the OK button. The fonts are now installed to the Fonts folder. These fonts can then be used in any application using Windows® printer drivers.

To install TrueType Fonts from the WordPerfect® Office  Installation CD:

  1. Insert the WordPerfect® Office CD into the CD-ROM drive. If Auto-Run is not enabled on your CD-ROM drive, you can open the drive from Windows Explorer or My Computer, double-click Setup.exe file, and click WordPerfect® Office Setup.
  2. Click on WordPerfect® Office Setup.
  3. On the WordPerfect® Office Setup screen, check Add New Components | Next.
  4. On the WordPerfect® Office Components screen, click Next (without selecting anything).
  5. On the WordPerfect® Writing tools screen, click Next.
  6. On the WordPerfect® Office Fonts screen, check Display Individual Fonts, and then place a check beside each font you wish to install. Every font is listed in the accompanying «Libraries Catalog» manual.
  7. Click Next
  8. On the WordPerfect® Office Destination Folder screen, click Next | Install. The fonts are now installed to the Fonts folder. These fonts can then be used in any application using Windows® printer drivers.

 

Font is Corrupt

If a font corrupts it will no longer work. If WordPerfect detects a corrupt font it will attempt to replace it with a font that closest matches it. When a document is moved from one machine or printer to another, it is important to know what fonts are available in the printer or system. If a font used in the original document is not available on the destination system, either you're out of luck or the font must be included with the file, which will increase the file size tremendously.

Locating and Removing Corrupt Fonts

  1. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel (or open My Computer followed by the Control Panel).
  2. Open the Fonts folder.
  3. Click View | Details.
  4. Along the Details bar, click Size to arrange all fonts by size.
  5. Notice whether there are any fonts that have a size of 0K.  If there are, proceed to Step 6, if there are none, stop at this point
  6. Delete any corrupt (0K) fonts.
  7. After all 0K fonts have bee removed, shut the computer down and reboot into Safe Mode.
    Note: Booting into Safe Mode can be achieved in the following manner.  During the booting of the computer watch for a line that states "Starting Windows 95/98/ME".  When this line appears , press F8 on your keyboard.  Select Safe mode from the list displayed.  Note that it normally takes a longer period of time for your computer to boot to Safe Mode and the display will only show 16 Color VGA.
  8. When Windows boots into Safe Mode, return to the Fonts folder (see steps 1-2) and verify that there are no 0K fonts present.

 

Turning Off ATM

Turning ATM off can often resolve font issues when you are faced with Type 1 Fonts and True Type Fonts that share a file name.  This must be done from within ATM.

  1. Launch ATM (by default it should be located in your Start menu under the Programs section).
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. In the ATM Settings section, click the radio button labeled Off.
  4. Restart Windows

When Windows loads, all Type 1 Fonts should be disabled.
