SYMPTOMS
========

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

CAUSE
=====

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:

  Driver                 Point Size
  ------                 ----------

  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

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes
available.
