SUMMARY

Some of the extended character set fonts do not display or print all characters in Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows. The extended character set font names are preceded by a 2-letter code indicating a Bitstream character set. (For example. "BN Swiss" refers to the Swiss font in the Business character set.) One character known to disappear in Word is the apostrophe (').

MORE INFORMATION

The software for the TypeCity cartridge includes Bitstream Facelift. The "README" file states that applications that do their own character mapping may be unable to access all characters when Facelift is installed.
