Incorrect Extended Characters with Mixed Device and TrueType (84114)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
This article was previously published under Q84114

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Windows version 3.1, when you use a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Series II or later printer driver supported by the Universal Printer Driver (UNIDRV.DLL), incorrect extended characters for device fonts may print on a page where both TrueType and device fonts are being used. This does not occur when the Print TrueType As Graphics check box is selected in the Options dialog box. (To access the Options dialog box, choose the Printers icon in Control Panel, choose the Setup button, and choose the Options button.)

RESOLUTION

An updated version of UNIDRV.DLL, which corrects this problem, is available from Microsoft Product Support Services.

MORE INFORMATION

If you use the Microsoft Diagnostics Utility (MSD) to check the Universal Printer Driver version, it shows the original UNIDRV.DLL as version 3.10.0.103. The version that corrects the extended charter problem is version 3.10.0.104. To use MSD to check the UNIDRV.DLL version:
  1. Run MSD. (MSD.EXE is located in the Windows program directory.)
  2. From the File menu, choose Find File.
  3. On the Search For command line, type UNIDRV.DLL.
  4. On the Start From command line, type the drive and directory where Windows is located. For example:

    c:\windows\system

  5. Choose the Search button to search for the file.
The file version is displayed to the right of the filename.
