SYMPTOMS

•When you copy an image onto the Clipboard (using CUT, COPY, or Print Screen) and then paste that image into Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0, you receive a general protection (GP) fault.
•Selecting an unavailable font in Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 generates a GP fault.
•When you run Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 under Windows 95, you see a window title that displays only the letter "W."

CAUSE

GP Fault When Pasting an Image

Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 expects the Clipboard to contain a device- independent bitmap (DIB). If a DIB is present, Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 assumes that it is a 1-, 8-, or 24-bit bitmap. If a 4-bit DIB is on the Clipboard, a GP fault occurs.

GP Fault When Selecting Unavailable Font

This problem is caused by a limitation in Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0.

Window Title with Only the Letter "W" Visible

This particular window is known as a "child window" and should read "Width." This child window is of a fixed sized; therefore, it cannot be changed. You cannot read the entire word "Width" because Windows 95 adds the Close button in the upper-right corner of the window.
