Using font mapping

You can control font substitutions by changing them for specific font attributes, styles, character sets, and print orientations. This is known as font mapping.

You can use font mapping to

 
change the printer font settings
 
specify a replacement font when a certain font is not available on the printer
 
change the display font settings
 
display a document in a different font, style, or size than the one used to print it
 
apply a non-Roman alphabet font

When substituting fonts, WordPerfect changes the [Font...] code (visible in the Reveal Codes window) to reflect both font names. The font name that WordPerfect used to replace the original font appears first, followed by the original font in square brackets. For information about Reveal Codes, see “Using Reveal Codes.”
