SUMMARY
=======

The PRINTER.WRI files from the following retail packages containing Windows 3.1
incorrectly document a WIN.INI switch called TTFavor=<0-or-1>:

- Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

- Microsoft Windows & MS-DOS 5 for IBM PS/2

The correct switch is FavorTT=<0-or-1>.

In Windows 3.1, the FavorTT setting must be placed in the [ModelName,Port]
section of the WIN.INI file, not in the [PostScript,Port] section. For example:

  Correct:        [Apple LaserWriter II NTX,LPT3]
                  advflags=696
                  header=1
                  FavorTT=1

  Incorrect:      [PostScript,LPT1]
                  ATM=placeholder
                  FavorTT=1

FavorTT=<0-or-1> [default: 0]
-----------------------------

If a request for a font can be equally satisfied by both a device font or a
TrueType font, use the TrueType font if FavorTT is set to 1. Otherwise use a
device font.

These ties can easily occur. For example, if the application requests Tms Rmn but
only Times and Times New Roman are available, this is considered a tie.
