Bitstream charter csx font and Word 97

[James Egge]

I have found that not only does Windows 97 fail to handle the Bitstream 
Charter and Utopia CSX fonts, but the same problems arise with the Normyn 
and Nina fonts.  Using Times New Roman and substituting in individual 
characters from one of these fonts is a workable but imperfect solution.

Microsoft's new extended character set (WGL4) adds a few characters of use 
for transliterating Sanskrit: vowels with macrons and s with acute accent, 
but of course it lacks a number of characters.  WGL4 is also not compatible 
with some printers.

On a more general note is it not depressing that upgrades to software often
seem to create as many problems as they solve?

Yes.  It's also depressing that Microsoft wouldn't bother to insure that 
their fonts could be used to write words like r.g, moks.a, and duh.kha.
