Hi all,

Has anyone seen this odd text rendering issue in VS2005 before?

The first line of using statements actually says "using System;". If I copy the line as it is displayed and paste into notepad, the text appears correctly, so clearly the character codes are correct. In addition, the solution compiles and runs correctly.

I was thinking it might be due to ClearCase using a different character encoding as all the solutions we're using were freshly checked-out yesterday on to a new build machine, but this is only happening in 2 of our ~30 solutions.

Incidentally the same .cs files when opened in VS2008 render correctly on this machine, could this be a corruption in VS2005?
