SYMPTOMS
Normal and bold TrueType fonts in your text may look alike on your monitor or printer.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of an algorithm in Windows NT 4.0 that calculates normal and bold TrueType fonts. For conventional TrueType font compatibility, Windows 2000 uses the same algorithm.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
