SUMMARY
In the Chat application included with Windows for Workgroups, incorrect screen fonts or &quot;boxes&quot; may appear in the remote computer's conversation display box. This problem may be caused by enabling the Use Partner's Font option, even though the partner's screen font is not available on the machine.

To work around this problem, use a font that is available on both machines or do not select the Use Partner's Font option.



MORE INFORMATION
If you choose the Preferences command from the Options menu of the Chat application, there is an option to use the partner's screen font. This option can be set to either use the user's own font, or to use the partner's font. If a user selects Use Partner's Font and does not have that font loaded on his or her system, Windows for Workgroups may incorrectly display the incoming characters. When using a TrueType font, the characters may appear as incorrect characters or as boxes.
