| Description |
In 23.90, there is a diagram following paragraph 6 and before Figure 150. The diagram follows the sentence, "The format of the file is shown in the following diagram:". In that diagram, there are some "funny characters" above and below the word "out". In my PDF, they look like Y's with crosses. In FrameMaker, they look like bullet symbols. Either way, it looks like they should not be there. |
| Fix |
Superceded by #169. The TimesRoman fonts will be changed to Times. |

Further investigation showed me that these "funny characters" are indeed supposed to be bullets, indicating preceding and following lines in the file. In fact, they occur in many places in section 23. The problem is the TimesNewRoman font, which some printer drivers do not handle correctly. The fix is to change them to regular Times font. Shalom The following proposal was rejected by the VSG: Delete the funny characters in diagrams in 23.46 and 23.90. The problem occurs in 23.46 in the diagram before Figure 106 as well as in 23.90. Instead the problem will be solved by changing the TimeRoman fonts to Times, as part of the fix to issue #169. |
