SYMPTOMS
========

Windows NT does not return the correct character set (charset) information for
the Cyberbit unicode font. For example, an application attempts to map to one of
the multiple character sets of this font, such as Greek, but Windows NT is
unable to find that character set.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This
problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT
version 4.0 For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
