Thorn_Icelandic_Capital cannot be Mapped to a Macro in a PDF

 Last reviewed: February 3, 1998
Article ID: Q178089
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2

SYMPTOMS

When the character parameter THORN_ICELANDIC_CAPITAL (EBCDIC 0xAE) is sent from the host to the SNA Print Service, using a PDT, the character is always converted to ASCII 0xDE. This happens regardless of what macro THORN_ICELANDIC_CAPITAL is mapped to in the PDF File.

CAUSE

The ASCII codes for THORN_ICELANDIC_CAPITAL and THORN_ICELANDIC_SMALL in the SNA Server character table are incorrect.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, and 3.0 SP2. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information.
