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.
