## SYMPTOMS

Trying to use the extended characters for ANSI code 147 (opening double quotation mark), 148 (closing double quotation mark), or 151 (em-dash) generates an incorrect character.

## CAUSE

The screen fonts included with Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, and Windows 95 do not contain the proper symbols for these codes.

## RESOLUTION

Use TrueType fonts to display the proper symbols with these character codes.
