 * Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
 * Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
Double-byte characters appear as question marks when they are displayed in a rich edit control on English Windows NT 4.0.

CAUSE
These fonts are Unicode fonts (that is, Chinese MS Mincho) and the rich edit control is not Unicode-enabled.

RESOLUTION
Use the standard edit control. The standard edit control is Unicode-enabled and it displays double-byte characters correctly.

STATUS
This problem was corrected in Windows 2000.
