- Here is a possible bug that was discovered at my work:
-
- This occured on a Zenith 386-25 ISA machine with 4 megs or RAM.
- The video card is a Zenith Z649 TIGA card. Windows 3.1 is running
- in high res (1024x768x256) TIGA mode. No swapfile.
-
- I don't know if this can be reproduced on a non Zenith machine.
-
- To see if the bug occurs, do this:
-
- --Turn your machine on and start Windows 3.1.
- --Start Write
- --Choose a True Type font (have True Type enabled beforehand) like
- Ariel and choose a big size (72 points)
- --Type out every letter in the alphabet
-
- When 'x' is typed on the Zenith here at work, it doesn't appear. It
- is there (there is a gap between the w and the y), but it doesn't show
- up. Any 'x' typed after doesn't appear either.
-
- I this a True Type bug? Anyone have any ideas or have this happen to
- them?
-
- Thanks,
-
