SYMPTOMS

The TrueType Symbol font displays certain point sizes in italics on the screen,
but prints correctly.

The italicized text will vary with different video drivers, and only lowercase
characters are affected.

The following Microsoft drivers have been tested, and display italicized in the
following point sizes:

  ------                 ----------

  EGA                    12, 14, 18, 24
  VGA (Version 3.0)      8, 10, 12, 18, 24
  VGA                    8, 10, 12, 18, 24
  Super VGA (800 x 600)  8, 10, 12, 18, 24
