The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows versions 2.03, 2.1, 2.11, 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you use italic formatting in Microsoft Windows Write and the last italic
character is followed by a non-italic character, the last italic character may
appear to be truncated.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because of the way Windows handles italic screen fonts.
Such truncations do not occur if you use TrueType fonts, and do not affect
printed output.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
