Someone I correspond with sends me email from his Mac (OS 9, Entourage 2001)
to my Mac (also OS 9, Entourage 2001).  He's sending in Arial and I'm
receiving in Arial.  Neither of us acquired our Arial from any unusual
source.  Both of us normally have Character Set on Automatic.

Here's what happens:  Characters like the ellipses in his messages show up
as sigmas on my Mac.  Now, if I change my Character Set to Western European
(Windows), the sigmas turn into ellipses, as you would expect.   But why is
this happening in the first place?

The only difference I can find is that he has a UK version of Office and
mine is US.  Would a UK version of MacOffice install fonts with different
character sets?  If so, why don't I see the substituted characters in email
from other Brits sending from Macs?  If not, what might explain this?

Thanks,

Beth
