Programs on Pan-Chinese Windows NT May Use Fixed Font for Menus (184757)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
This article was previously published under Q184757 SYMPTOMS
Programs installed on the Pan Chinese localized (foreign language) version
of Windows NT may not use the proper font (typically the Tahoma font) for
their menus. Instead, the program's menus may use a non-proportional font
that looks like Courier rather than a proportional font similar to Arial.
This may cause the menus to be truncated or not visible in some programs,
making them difficult or impossible to use.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the charset is set to 86 (GB2312). Because of
this, CreateFontIndirect() returns the SimSun font as the closest match
for the requested Tahoma font.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Technical Support to obtain the
following fix, or wait for the next Windows NT service pack.
This fix should have the following time stamp or later:
