= SUMMARY =

Some characters above decimal 128 may appear to print incorrectly. This problem is especially true for, but not limited to, HP LaserJet printers.

Depending on the printer driver, many characters above decimal 128 are created through a character translation table. For example, a lowercase “e” with an accent mark may be the letter “e” printed, then a backspace and, finally, an apostrophe printed over the top. This method of composing characters does not always result in perfectly formed characters, such as those that exist in established symbol sets.

The only option is to use another font or driver if the character is not satisfactory.
