Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When the mapping mode is set to MM_LOMETRIC, DrawText does not properly handle the "&" (ampersand) prefix character. The underscore character that should go beneath the character that follows the "&" in the string is appearing either elsewhere in the client area or not appearing at all.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
