SUMMARY
=======

Full left and right justification does not display properly in Microsoft Windows
with some TrueType fonts in the 11-point size. This occurs in VGA (640 x 480)
and Super VGA (800 x 600) modes. The problem is caused by the right
justification; the right side does not line up properly when it is being
displayed.

NOTE: Documents print correctly; this problem only affects the screen display.

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

Tests have been performed using the Write program packaged with Windows 3.1 and
with version 2.0a of Microsoft Word for Windows. Both applications present the
same results. Below is a list of the fonts that have this problem:

- Arial Narrow

- Bookman OldStyle

- Century Schoolbook

- Lucida Bright

- Monotype Corsiva
