The Courier PostScript typeface used to produce the Courier font in the HP emulation mode was designed to have the ability to produce a very light weight font. To produce a much heavier weight Courier font, simply choose bold from within your application software program. 33. Q. When in the HP emulation mode, using full justification, why does the right margin vary slightly when using the Times and Helvetica PostScript typefaces? A. The Times and Helvetica PostScript typefaces, licensed from Linotype, have the character matrixes for which they were originally designed. The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer uses approximations of these typefaces, called TMS-RMN and Helv. They have the same style, but have other matrixes (even for the same point size), and the matrixes do not scale with the dimensions of the font (i.e., there are separate width tables for each point size of the type). As a result, applications which produce justified text in Helv or TMS-RMN will not have perfectly justified right margin. However, in most occurrences the PostScript typeface widths are close enough so the appearance of the right margin is not objectionable. If printing justified proportionally-spaced documents in the emulator is of critical importance, you can purchase a downloadable bit-mapped font designed for a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer, download it into the printer, and use an application which knows about the widths of the downloaded font. By allocating enough memory for permanent storage of fonts, you can "lock" this font into memory by marking it permanent. The downloaded font will then reside in the printer until the power is turned off or the font is deleted. 34. Q. When using MS-WORD for MS Windows 3.0, why does the first page print out reversed at 400% the requested size? A. This is caused by using an old version of the Microsoft PostScript printer driver for MS-Windows 3.0. Using version 3.4 or higher of the Microsoft PostScript printer driver corrects this problem. Listed below are three recommended methods to obtain version 3.4 of the Microsoft PostScript printer driver
