Default Problem with Font

Hi,
After a Windows re-install one of my Excel files doesn't work quite as
before.
I think the problem - or solution - is in Excel, not Windows
because the .xls shows the same on a second computer.

I have a listbox that gets its information from a Worksheet. One of
the characters in the worksheet is chrW(9660). This character shows on
the worksheet OK but no longer on the listbox, where it's changed to a
small box shape. (Before the reinstall it echoed the correct
character).

I don't think it's a missing font issue though, rather I'm guessing
this 9660 char (Unicode?) is disabled or not present in the current
enviroment.

I have made an xls file with an example of the issue at

(Please be aware this has a macro the runs the Form in the Workbook
Open event.)

Any help or solution with this would be most appreciated.
Thanks - Kirk
