I am seeing some strange behaviour with Word 2000. I have created a font of
type Microsoft Symbol which works fine in Word 95 and Word 97, but displays
incorrectly in Word 2000. In Word 2000, end of lines (carriage returns) are
being displayed with the same glyph as the space character. I have looked in
the font and space is mapped to $F020 (space) and $F0A0 (non-breaking
space). This is consistent with the mappings in Arial and removing the
non-breaking space mapping does not correct the problem. I am fairly
confident that the space character itself is the one being used because I
changed it and viewed the document and only spaces and the extra character
were affected.
I tried mapping the carriage return value (0xD) to a glyph, just to see if I
could change what was displayed - to my astonishment, all of the characters
mapped to the undefined character.
If I enable paragraph symbols, I get the standard paragraph character (I
don't know its name - it looks like a fancy P).
I am at my wits end as to why this is happening. As I have said, the font
works fine in previous versions of Word, and I have not noticed any problems
with other fonts. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Oh - BTW - I am using the initial release of Office 2000 Professional - I
will be downloading the SRs today and seeing if that corrects things.
