I am not seeing this with OS9 200082108. This might be a fonts issue 
(OS 9 has more forign fonts). I don't think this is a mozilla problem, but I'll 
leave it open and leave it to the localization folks.

I cannot reproduce this bug with Mozilla 25-08-00 on Mac OS 8.6. The font 
in question is Verdana. I'm not sure it's it's included by default on Mac OS; 
I think it's bundled with MS Office. 

I tried to open the page wihout Verdana installed and still could not 
reproduce the problem. Maibe the reporter is using an old version of 
Verdana. (?)

Anyway, I don't think this is related with Mozilla.

I don't think this is related to moz either, I run Microsloth Orfice 98 on my 
computer too so that might explain in. Resolving as woksforme.
