         BRAVO NB/ADVANTAGE EX TALL FONT & INTERNATIONAL CODE PAGES


PROBLEM:       Random Characters are displayed incorrectly with international
               DOS Code pages on AST Bravo NB and Advantage EX systems.  The
               characters will be displayed as U.S. characters instead of the
               correct international character.

CAUSE:         Problem occurs if the "Tall Fonts" field is set to "enable" in
               the System Setup.

SYSTEMS
AFFECTED:      Bravo NB and Advantage EX systems.

SOLUTION:      The problem is resolved by going into System Setup and setting
               the "Tall Fonts" field to "disable".
