When I opened the PDF file on my computer, a warning box appeared notifying me that I did not have the WPMathA font and that certain characters would not appear or print correctly. Whats the deal?
The WPMathA font is a specific font used with WordPerfect for Windows documents. Whenever we create a PDF from an older version of WordPerfect (version 8 or below) the WPMathA font is not embedded in the PDF. You see, most PDFs created have the necessary fonts they’ll need for printing embedded right in the document. This is done to allow you to print the document and get the exact same results as we get with the original. Older versions of WordPerfect do not allow certain restricted fonts from being embedded. Unfortunately, these fonts are usually the ones which are used for special characters (things like bullets, international characters, or dingbats). You can still print the document but your final printed copy may have rather odd characters in the place of bullets. If you are on a Windows computer with WordPerfect installed, you shouldn’t have a problem. That’s why some people may get this warning while others may not.
