Symbol font now available.

We have added the symbol font to our set.

{sym} turns it on
{/sym} turns it off

(using straight brackets, of course)

Have fun!

[being daft] Symbol font? [/being daft (as if)]

let’s try"


 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

[sym]A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z[/sym]

way cool.

I assume that lower case gives the lower case Greek.

This will be Sooooo helpful in GQ!!

What about numbers?

Let’s keep trying…

When using the numeric codes, press and hold the alt key while punching the numbers in sequence on the number pad. The number keys on the top of the keyboard won’t work for this. You’ll get the symbols listed below only when using the sym tag. In the default font (Arial), the characters will be different.

Pardon me, bibliophage my dear mod, but what pray tell didest thou edit here? Looks the same to me. I only ask to make sure I made no unintentional error. Thanks.

Ok, not perfect, but better? (I didn’t do all the alt code ones, cuz they get even more whacked out than these when trying to align them in columns.)

Hey! My browser (Netscape 6.1) isn’t recognizing the Symbol font! Everything enclosed in the <font face=“symbol”> tag appears as Times to me. What gives?

Whatever it is, it’s not a Microsoft conspiracy so just get that right out of your mind this instant!

Hmm… Little trouble aligning, even with the code tags, but super worthwhile anyway.

Tell me, Tuba, was this just a matter of hitting a switch in vB, or did it take some intensive programming?

It’s probably not a browser issue, but rather, a matter of you not having the Symbol font installed on your computer. Check the C:\Windows\Fonts folder and see if it’s there. If not, you can probably find it online to download from somewhere.
