Simulated Italic Fonts Are Spaced Apart in Persuasion (82867)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82867 SUMMARY
In Aldus Persuasion for Windows, simulated italic fonts are spaced
wider apart than they should be. The problem is in Persuasion and
occurs in the Windows 3.0 and 3.1.
This problem can be observed when Symbol italic is chosen and the
PostScript printer driver is active.
MORE INFORMATION
Persuasion does not expect device fonts to have an overhang. In the
case of a symbol TrueType font, GDI has to do the italic simulation of
a device symbol font. In this case, each character in the device font
will be sheared to appear italicized. The width of each of these
characters includes the amount of overhang over the next character.
While composing text with these characters, and when a DX array is
specified, the application must take out the overhang value from the
width of each character. Persuasion is not doing this and as a
result, the characters appear spaced out.
