In some conditions that I haven't determined, the email composer doesn't handle
the Unicode Lucida Sans capital J right. I was typing purple on gold, one size
larger than default, and the preceding line was a blank.

On typing a J as the first char in the line, the display was right, but when the
next char was typed, the J disappeared from view and became only a residual spot
on the screen. With left-justified J's on successive lines, typing another char
would make both J's disappear. While trying to find something reproducible, I
lost the cursor. 

Here's some text that should do it:
Justinian
Just doesn't
get it.
A
B

I was unable to reproduce this with other chars that have descending parts, so
the Lucida Sans Unicode font I used is defective. But it displays fine in the
completed email which I got a copy of.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Lucida Sans Unicode font
2. Click the font enlarger once or twice. Maybe select a text color.
3. Type some text with J's at the left edge of the body.
Actual Results:  
In some conditions subsequent typed characters make J and j characters disappear.

Expected Results:  
The J and j chars should display normally in the editor, correctly formed and
sized. 

This could be a font defect or a Win98 bug. I think the font is dated 5-8-2000
5:20A, though I didn't see a Lucida font indicated to be Unicode.
