SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
  • On the computer, you have a document that contains Single Byte Character Set (SBCS) characters. For example, the document contains Japanese Kana characters.
  • You rotate some characters in the document. For example, you rotate some characters to a vertical orientation.
  • You use the local Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW) to print the document.
In this scenario, some characters are rotated incorrectly in the print output.

Note This issue also occurs when you establish a terminal server session to a terminal server that has the Terminal Services Easy Print feature enabled. In this situation, the issue occurs when you use a redirected MXDW in the terminal server session to print the document.
