[texpoint-users] Some characters not displaying: lcmss8 font problem?

Since upgrading to MikTeX 2.5, TexPoint has stopped displaying all 
numbers and certain characters in display mode.

I am using TexPoint version 2.0.3 for Office XP (Powerpoint 2002), which 
I have been successfully using with MikTeX 2.4 for a number of years. I 
recently updated MikTeX via the package manager, and since then TexPoint 
  will no longer display any numbers or numerous other characters (e.g. 
brackets, equals sign) in display mode. A re-installation failed to 
correct the problem, as did installing the latest version (3.0.1).

As an example of what works and what doesn't, the bitmap of test.tex 
does not include the 0 or 1 subscripts, or the capital Gamma, leaving 
blank spaces in their place. The output code from running tex2bmp at the 
command prompt is pasted below. If I change the document class to 
'article' everything works fine, but this isn't really ideal as the 
fonts don't display as smoothly when magnified.

Thanks for any help with this.
