SYMPTOMS
========

When the Fixedsys font is used, some characters do not display properly under
Korean Windows NT 3.51 for programs developed under Korean Windows NT 3.5.

CAUSE
=====

This problem may be caused by the Fixedsys font change in Korean Windows NT

WORKAROUND
==========

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can
be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

To work around the problem:

1. Remove the Fixedsys font. Open Control Panel, and then double-click the Fonts
  icon. From the Install Fonts list box, select Fixedsys, and then click
  Remove.

2. Add Fixedsys to System mapping. Go to the following Registry key:

  HKEY_LOACAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes

  Click Edit, and then click Add Value. Type Fixedsys in the Value Name entry,
  select REG_SZ for Data Type, and then click OK. Type System for the String
  entry, and click OK.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 3.51 Korean version.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
