The plus/minus symbol in Prism results

In some countries, the plus/minus symbol ± appears incorrectly in Prism's results. This occurs with Prism Windows 6.00 and 6.01, and perhaps with earlier releases of Prism Windows.

The problem occurs because tables and results are using a font with western charset under Japanese (or some other) locale.

Workaround: Go to Prism's Preferences dialog, View tab, and change the font for data, info and results to a font with Japanese charset (f.e. MS Mincho). Make sure to also choose "Japanese" in the Script dropdown.
