This is not a problem, not all fonts have a character in there character
table. If you look in your character map you will see what I mean.

I have seen this problem, did you install widows 95 as an update over
your windows 3.1 if you did this could be part of your problem if not
this could be a conflict with your motherboard in the cache chip.  I
have found many errors in the update version of windows 95. it doesn't
run well ontop of the old system. after I installed the current OEM
version b.  All works as advertised.

Well, this is 'cause the characters in some applications do not store
the properties when changed or specific.  Like if you use MS-Line-Draw
there are not any substitute characters in the other font.
Good luck or so...

We had a similar problem on one of our machines, it was actually traced
to an interrupt conflict between the video card and a sound card, we
fixed the IRQ problem and everything was instantly OK

I had the samne problem, and founds fonts gradually deteriorating.
Eventually about half the files on my HD went bad.  The only thing I
found wrong with my system was that a CPU voltage jumper had fallen
off.  I'm amazed it ran at all, but surprised that it would run and
eat my files.

During the install process of Win95 over an existing Win 3.1, some of
the fonts may become corrupted.  This corruption results in bullets,
numbers and special characters appearing as boxes in certain
applications (WordPad, WordPerfect, etc.).  Delete all the corrupted
font styles, and then restore them from the Recycle Bin.  If they are
still corrupt after the round trip, then they must be completely deleted
and then reinstalled.
