I had been using a number of : BitStream FaceLift fonts in Word Perfect for Dos 5.1 and now I have their : equivalents in WordPerfect 6.0 Windows. Problems are as follows: : Line spacing is different in WP Dos vs WP Win : Word and Letter spacing is different as well : QUESTION: Is this a function of the change from Dos to Windows, the : change from WP DOS to WP WIndows, the change from WP 5.1, 5.2 format to : WP 6.0 format or the change from FaceLift to TrueType fonts? I need this : info to start looking for how to make the new spacings - line, word and : letter match the originals. Yes. All of the above. :) In particular I think it has to do with the WP and Bistream version changes. I assume your new fonts are Bitstream True Type. First step in fixing the problem is to reload your Facelift disks. If they have the Bitstream diamond, you should be able to load them into \BTFONTS and install them in WP6 as Speedo fonts. That will help. :) -- hazel-chaz@netcom.com - Home of Margarita Jell-O, an alcoholic use for lime jello.
