SMS: Chat Edit Window Cannot Display Euro Symbol (214987)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q214987

SYMPTOMS

Some clients cannot display the euro symbol while in a Systems Management Server 2.0 Chat session. The symbol will be displayed as a vertical line in the Chat edit box on these clients.

CAUSE

Unlike most server-side UI components, which use the Tahoma font, Systems Management Server 2.0 Remote Control components, including Chat, use the MS Sans Serif font. Some of the supported clients for Systems Management Server 2.0 do not support the euro symbol, and display a vertical line in its place.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Currently, the euro character in MS Sans Serif is supported in Microsoft Windows 98 and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.
