SYMPTOMS
========

When you print a document formatted with both the Symbol printer font and any
other fixed width printer font, such as Courier, to a Canon LBP-8 III Plus

For example, if the following is typed, line three will be printed in the Symbol
font:

  1. Text typed in Courier font
  2. Text typed in Symbol font
  3. Text typed in Courier font

This symptom occurs when you use any of the Canon LBP-8 III printer drivers.

RESOLUTION
==========

Format the text with a true type font. For example, use the Courier New True
Type font.

-or-

Use the Canon LBP-8 II printer driver.
