Maybe not, but I've seen a NIC (or it's drivers) eat bits (or seem to) of
characters. We had a PC that would print to network printers (several
different ones) with some characters messed up (replaced with random looking
characters in the same font and style), but it printed just fine on a locally
attached printer.  It did not matter what application was used to do the
printing.  Our help desk rebuilt the fonts and printer drivers to no avail.
Finally they replaced the NIC and that solved the problem.
