----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1276755203_-_- Content-type: text/plain A (pseudo) general solution to displaying special characters in buttons and elsewhere is to create your own font! I took TimesRoman and STIXGeneral copied out the glyph for nabla (?) and merged the two into a new font (Gft). (this was accomplished using FontCreator from High-Logic) I then set my default font to Gft (as well as for dialogs). In that way, documents and the Inspector display the glyphs I want for the Unicode characters. The remaining problem is that pulldown menus still do not display to correct glyph (for ?). So I do not know how HostMenus is attempting to generate the image of the characters. Anyone know what is going on with pulldown menus? -Doug Danforth ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1276755203_-_- Content-type: application/rtf Content-transfer-encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment;
