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

The font names, as viewed in Word 97, will not indicate the expected
international font name. Word 97 will display the English font name and will map
to the correct international font, as needed. For example, with multilanguage
and keyboard support enabled in Windows 95, and the keyboard set to a certain
language, such as French, Word 97 will use Arial CE, Courier New CE, or Times
New Roman CE, but it will display the font name as either Arial, Courier New, or
Times New Roman.

The international font names previously seen in Word include the following:

  Arial CE
  Arial Cyr
  Arial Greek
  Courier New CE
  Courier New Cyr
  Courier Greek
  Times New Roman CE
  Times New Roman Cyr
  Times New Roman Greek
