A test of 79 8 point fonts and a superimposed grid.
Note the test is somewhat confounded by HP's use (at least on the HP 4600) of the small tilde (code point U+02DC) instead of tilde (code point U+007E) for the second to last character in each line. We consider this too "wrong" to emulate, so to use the test to check the spacing of characters disregard the last 2 characters on each line. Comment #2 should be discarded the tilde characters were incorrect and have been fixed in revision 10206. At present I don't see a good solution to this problem without radically changing the pcl font rendering machinery. We note the problems are quite minor. This bug will likely be resolved as "WONTFIX". Can you tell me from the customer's which report this bug was opened? I need to communicate with the customer. This is FTS5C 0010-054, page 3. Documented in pcl Anomalies.txt - see item 54: Changing customer bugs that have been resolved more than a year ago to closed. |
