a window under Microsoft Windows versions 3.0 and 3.0a, incorrect graphics
characters are displayed.

CAUSE
=====

The code page of the font used by Windows does not match the code page
anticipated by the application, thus the wrong characters are displayed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows versions 3.0 and 3.0a.
This problem was corrected and does not occur in later versions.
