LaserWriter Driver 7.2 & Earlier: Helvetica Font Bug

When using Helvetica bold underline, the underline only goes under about three quarters of the word or sentence. The underline command works fine with plain Helvetica, but not when you bold. I have reinstalled the fonts and the problem still exists.

There is a known bug in previous versions of the LaserWriter driver (version 7.2 or earlier) where the problem outlined can occur. The problem is due to how the driver calculates the underlining as opposed to how the application calculates it.

This problem has been fixed in LaserWriter driver version 8.0. Try using this version of the driver.
