special characters, an unexpected blank space may be inserted
after the special character. This problem occurs with certain accented
characters, such as Hebrew characters or Greek characters that use an acute accent (') or
a grave accent (`). You may experience this problem when you select the text
that contains the character in .chm files or in .html files, or when you view documents
by using certain programs such as Microsoft WordPad. CAUSEThis problem may occur if you use fonts where the width
of the characters is 0 (zero). In this scenario, the 0-width characters are not
