The problem may be with Lucida Console. Try Courier New.
I pasted the text into MS Word and changed the font for the entire line
to Lucida Console. Looking at the font character by character, almost
all the characters had been switched to Courier New. Only one was
Lucida Console. Interesting, several did say what font they were.
I interpret that as meaning that when Lucida Console doesn't have a
glyph, Word substitutes Courier New.
I hope that helps,
- Barry
