Weird behavior with the vertical yes/no property

[st4rcutter]

Whenever I choose "Yes" for the vertical alignment of text on a report label I get the most bizzare result. The text completely disappears. I've tried changing font colors, background colors etc to check for white text on a white background but that is not the problem. I've tried alignment changes, stretching the box out, making it small. The text just will not show up. Oddly enough, the caption is showing the text normally. I've verified this works fine on another person's computer so I'm doing it correctly. Any ideas?

I found one solution although it does not seem to address the root cause. Changing the font to Arial CYR, Arial Greek, or Arial CE seems to correct the issue. The text is now displaying and printing. This has me baffled. Will continue to look for the root...

I have a similar problem when trying to print barcodes. It may be related to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 839779:

Any known work-around would be very much appreciated.
