SYMPTOMS
When you print from WordPad on an IBM 4019PS17, the underscore character (_) in the PostScript printer font Courier does not print.
CAUSE
The PostScript font used by the IBM 4019PS17 has a lower underline position than the Courier font of most printers. The printer font metrics (PFM) file used for generic Courier causes a clipping rectangle, which is too small for the font, to be created. The underscore is then clipped.
