It often happen using DEMACS on  a 386 PC that a line of text is
truncated in the middle of a word, when auto-fill-mode is on. I noticed
this ONLY in correpsondance with the letter 'z'. Example: typing this
sentence:

Is this a problem of zizuzozaze zizuzozaze zizuzozaze zizuzozzaze zizuzozaze 

after the final blank demacs gives the following:

Is this a problem of zizuzozaze zizuzozaze zizuzozaze zizuzozzaze ziz
uzozaze 


Almost always a word containing a z at the end of the line is
incorrectly truncated this way. I never noticed a similar behaviour with
different letters. 
Anybody has the same problem?
Suggestions?
Where to look for possible solutions??
thanks
