SYMPTOMS
When you host a Vector Markup Language (VML) Web page in a localized Web browser control and set the &quot;C&quot; runtime (Msvcrt.dll) locale to the system default, the text may appear scrambled. Specifically, the text is not correctly positioned according to the specifications of the HTML code.



CAUSE
This issue may occur on systems where locale settings use a comma as the decimal separator instead of a period (.). That is why the issue does not occur in Chinese versions of Windows but does occur in all European versions of Windows.
