- Make sure you've got the latest 5.1 interim release. The original release
- had a lot of problems with TrueType fonts. (If you've got the original,
- a call to WP support and a description of this problem should get you the
- interim release for free.)

- I've never got this to work either, but you can use the WordPerfect character
- set (at the bottom of the Font menu) with TrueType fonts just fine. I think
- that character set's got just about all of the special characters (and then
- some).
