   - the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Windows 95 3270 applet (Win3270.exe) and resize the display
window, the top of the text may appear to be cut off, as if the font is too big
for the height of the row.

CAUSE
=====

When support for Greek and Czech fonts was added to the Windows 3270 applet, the
Czech font size became the basis for calculating the row height. If the normal
font is bigger than this row size, the text truncates and displays incorrectly.

RESOLUTION
==========

The Windows 95 3270 applet has been changed to support distinct row sizes for
normal, Greek, and Czech fonts.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1
(SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the
