SUMMARY
If you are running Microsoft Word for Windows in Microsoft Windows
operating system version 3.1 and you are using the IQ Engineering font
cartridges, you may experience problems with incorrect screen font or
printer font substitution. Also, the cartridge name may not be
displayed in the Print Setup dialog box.
This article provides information about the IQ Engineering font
cartridges and troubleshooting information for the above problems.
MORE INFORMATIONProblems and Workarounds
- The IQ Super Cartridges are not always listed as installed
cartridges in the Print Setup dialog box. This problem occurs if the
cartridge is not selected or if it is incorrectly installed. Use the
installation instructions at the end of this article to reinstall and
select the cartridge. Also, delete the WINWORD.INI file, which is
located in the Word for Windows program directory.
- Incorrect screen fonts may be used for some IQ Super Cartridge
fonts. This problem occurs because the Super Cartridges do not
provide matching screen fonts for their printer fonts. If you are
using Super Cartridge 1 or 2, which contain bitmapped fonts, Word
for Windows uses the closest matching screen fonts currently
installed in Windows. As a result, the screen display of these
fonts is not always "what you see is what you get."
If you are using Super Cartridge 3, which contains scalable PCL-5
fonts, and you have Hewlett-Packard (HP) Intellifonts or Adobe Type
Manager version 2.0 or higher, matching screen fonts are available
from IQ Engineering.
- The IQ Cooper Black Super Cartridge font is sometimes substituted
for internal printer fonts when the point size is above 24 points and
the text extends to two pages or more. IQ Engineering is researching
this problem. To print with the internal printer font instead of the
IQ Cooper Black font, cut one-page selections of your document and
paste them into a new document for printing as a series of one-page
documents.
