SYMPTOMS

When you are running WordPad, you may see available alternate font characters sets (such as Turkish or Cyrillic), but you may not be able to use them. For example, after you select Times New Roman (Turkish), the font reverts to Times New Roman (Western) as soon as you click the document area.
