Hi!

I have a problem. If anyone puts a diamond icon into the post I see rectangle instead. What's the problem.

Almost certainly this is a problem with your System font. Some programs tamper with this font to make it easier to display symbols. I expect this forum uses the System font to display suit symbols, as BBO does.

Fred and Uday, perhaps it is time we had the BBO software install a special BBO font during install, instead of relying on the System font, which some programs alter. (It really doesn't matter that these programs shouldn't be doing this, the fact is that they do.) A BBO font with the symbols required would be ridiculously small (50-80 K tops) and would probably make many display issues go away.

Not in the forums. A standard font is used, though specifically the diamond symbol has been a bit of a headache. They are Unicode symbols, no Symbol font.

Jarosz, what browser (with version) and operating system (with version) do you use?
