SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * You have a computer that is running the Hebrew version of Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1).
 * On the computer, you print a document in a program that uses the Win32 DrawText API.

In this scenario, you experience the following problems with the printed document:
 * When a line break is reached, abbreviations of Hebrew words and phrases that contain non-alphanumeric characters are separated in the middle by a non-alphanumeric character. For example, when a line break is reached, abbreviations may be separated in the middle by a non-alphanumeric character such as a quotation mark (&quot;), an en dash (-), a slash mark (/), or an asterisk (*).
 * When a line break is reached, a non-alphanumeric character that appears at the end of a word is included on the next line without the attached word. For example, when a line break is reached, a non-alphanumeric character such as a closing parenthesis ) or a comma that appears at the end of a word is included on the next line without the attached word.
 * When a line break is reached, a non-alphanumeric character that appears at the end of a phrase that is in quotation marks is included on the next line without the attached phrase. For example, when a line break is reached, a non-alphanumeric character such as a quotation mark (&quot;) that appears after a non-alphanumeric character is included on the next line without the attached phrase.
