I'm sorry (???), Dick, but the problem seems to have been fixed at the
source. I cannot now recreate the failure.

A note I made after encountering the problem is dated September 14
(1999) and the related fonts in my Windows/fonts folder are currently
dated December 17, so I probably downloaded newer, fixed, versions
of the font files from the Windows Update site without realizing and
testing them.

I did not save a copy of the failing fontfiles, so have nothing to
share. So I guess this particular "font failure" message has now
been rendered historic.

My apologies to you and all for posting the problem without first
re-checking my facts. I had assumed the problem still existed.

So now the solution to improperly rendering fonts may be to simply
visit the Windows Update site and get the latest versions.

Cheers,
Ripp
