SUMMARY
=======

The Brother HL-Series driver version 1.0 (available from the Supplemental Driver
Library [SDL]) does not support italic format for its resident fonts. Italicized
characters display as normal format. All other formats work correctly.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Brother HL-Series driver offers the following resident fonts:

  Anelia
  Brougham
  Letter Gothic
  BR - 01T
  BR - 02H

When using any of the resident fonts, italicized characters are displayed and
printed in normal format. All other font formats (bold, underline, superscript,
and subscript) work correctly.

Other font selections (modern, roman, script) do not seem to be affected.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes
available.
