Now I tried to check it off -- no change: I still see the same problem. Also I tried to set it to "ClearType" --> the situation became much worse. So I can reproduce the problem with "ClearType" what you cited above, but the bug I reported seems to be another one. Note that I can reproduce it only(?) when there is `_' (underscore?) after `d'. Otherwise even slanted d is displayed well. So maybe the problem is with `_'? \bye P
