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

SYMPTOMS
========

If you install and then later remove the Multilanguage Support option, the
multilanguage fonts continue to appear in the Fonts box in WordPad.

If you select a multilanguage font [such as Times New Roman (Greek)], the Western
version of the font [such as Times New Roman (Western)] is used. The Western
version of the font is displayed and printed correctly.

This problem also affects Microsoft Paint, but does not affect other programs.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

- Select fonts using the Fonts command on the Format menu. The correct fonts
  are listed.

- Reinstall Windows 95. Do not select the Multilanguage Support option. When
  Setup is finished, the multilanguage fonts entries are removed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
