SUMMARY

When you type commands in the Run dialog box, you may not be able to type some extended characters. A black line or box may appear instead of some of the extended characters you type.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior occurs because Windows uses MS Sans Serif for its system font. This font does not include a complete set of extended characters.
