PostScript Fonts Can’t Be Underlined or Struckthrough

= SUMMARY =

Some symbol fonts, such as Zapf Dingbats or Symbol, are blacked out when formatted as underlined or strikethrough and printed on a PostScript printer.

A PostScript method is being used for underlining that allows the line to be drawn proportional to the font size. This method does not work properly for some characters in the Zapf Dingbats font and the Symbol font. For best results, do not format characters in these fonts as underline or strikethrough.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.
