It's not normal text. The characters are unusual. Many are elongated or narrow
rectangles as if the "|" character had a hollow center (so slightly wider across,
of course), and a few accented alphabeticals such as the letter "y" with twin dots
above it, an "O" with the same twin dots, a singleton "h" from a normal font; and
Win2000 complains that the syntax is incorrect.
In WindowsXP, there is no such problem, everything appears totally normal.
