FIX: Random Characters in Report Do Not Print Under Localized Windows
This article was previously published under Q258532
You create a report in Visual FoxPro 6.0 running on localized or Hebrew or Arabic-enabled Windows 9x or Windows NT. When previewing, printing to a print device, or directing output to the screen, the report does not print all characters. The characters are omitted at random; therefore, different characters may appear or disappear each time the report runs.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in the latest service pack for Visual Studio 6.0.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
