No Bill, I didn't find a solution. The funny thing is that on both
computers I can't find that character in any of the fonts installed.
But it must be there because >on screen< and in some parts of the
system like country or regional settings it appears on both. Only that
the other computer won't print it. -- The character I'm talking of is
somewhat like the ¢ (ASCII 0162), but it's a capital with two parallel
slashes instead of one.

The only place where I found this character and was able to format and
to use it was in the cell formatting for currencies / bookkeeping in
Excel. There it appears as currency "Spanish (Costa Rica)".

One of those secrets in the depth of Windows and MS...
