Bold Vector Font in Write Jumps Left

ID: Q83834

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

When you use a bold vector font, such as Modern, Roman, or Script, in Microsoft Windows Write, the text and the cursor positions will not match. Two display problems occur:

  1. As the characters are displayed, they jump to the left away from the cursor.


  2. As the line length increases, the further apart the character and cursor positions appear on the display.


This problem is caused by the limited functionality of vector fonts and the ability to simulate bold characters with them in a WYSIWYG environment such as Windows.

To correct this problem select a TrueType font in Windows 3.1.
