Palatino Fonts: Spacing Different on 7.1 When Upgraded (6/94)


I just upgraded from System 7.0.1 to System 7.1. My Microsoft Word 5 documents that use Palatino TrueType fonts no longer have correct spacing either on the screen, or when printed on a Postscript printer. For government regulation reasons, our documents require exactly the same spacing as when printed with System 7.0.1.

Since there were no Palatino TrueType fonts included with System 7.0.1, documents do not generate the same display and print images with System 7.0.1 as they do with System 7.1. System 7.0.1 shipped with bit map versions of Palatino (Palatino 10, 12, 14, 18, 24), whereas System 7.1 shipped with those, in addition to TrueType Palatino, TrueType Palatino Bold, Bold/Italic and Italic.

Therefore, to assure that the documents print exactly as they had with System 7.0.1, you must remove only the Palatino TrueType fonts from the System 7.1 Palatino suitcase found in the Fonts folder.
