I found and interesting glitch in Excel 3.0.  Using fonts from 12 points to
15 points and selecting File Print Preview give an Unrecoverable Application
Error when it attempts to draw the font.  It works fine until it hits
whatever location on the page contains that font.

System:

	80286-12, 4 MB RAM
	80 MB hard disk, 30 MB free
	ATI VGA Wonder+, 1024x768 16-colors
	Novell Netware 2.15 (latest Windows shells)
	Adobe Type Manager 1.0

I have tried disabling ATM, and dropping back to VGA as the video driver, no
change.  I also talked with MS Tech Support, and tried removing atmsys.drv
from SYSTEM.INI, added PadCodeSegments=1 to SYSTEM.INI and still no change.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
