SYMPTOMS
When you print a Web page with a table whose cells contain italic
characters to a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer, some characters
may be truncated
CAUSE
Some characters (particularly accented characters) may have an overhang
adjustment that is larger than the width of the character. When this
occurs, an unnecessary break occurs in the printed text because the width
is incorrectly calculated as a very large number. For example, the
overhang adjustment for "width=30" could be 50, which results in a fill
width of -20 (which is supposed to be unsigned). So, instead of -20, the
result is a large positive number, which affects almost everything around
it.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain and install Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 2. You can obtain Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 2 from the following Microsoft Web site:
