             BRAVO NB/ADVANTAGE EX TALL FONT & INTERNATIONAL CODE PAGES

    PROBLEM:       Random Characters are displayed incorrectly with international
                   DOS Code pages on AST Bravo NB and Advantage EX systems.  The
                   characters will be displayed as U.S. characters instead of the
                   correct international character.

    CAUSE:         Problem occurs if the "Tall Fonts" field is set to "enable" in
                   the System Setup.

    SYSTEMS
    AFFECTED:      Bravo NB and Advantage EX systems.

    SOLUTION:      The problem is resolved by going into System Setup and setting
                   the "Tall Fonts" field to "disable".
