Justification for Some TrueType Fonts Doesn't Display

 Last reviewed: November 23, 1994

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Full left and right justification does not display properly in Microsoft Windows with some TrueType fonts in the 11-point size. This occurs in VGA (640 x 480) and Super VGA (800 x 600) modes. The problem is caused by the right justification; the right side does not line up properly when it is being displayed.

NOTE: Documents print correctly; this problem only affects the screen display.

MORE INFORMATION
