the schma symbol
Word Perfect has it, but i haven't found it in any of the default MS Word fonts. and since its not found there, if you copy if from WP, and the person reading the doc doesn't have WP fonts, they will get a which is what happened in one of the threads. i have a lot of fonts, but unless i am printing something, i tend to stick to the standard ones, other wise you can get errors.. even a similar font might not be mapped the same, so things can change..
some users at work used a fancy font for mass mailing.. only for about half the uses, open quotes became @ making the document look very strange! since some users have windows 95, and some windows 98, (and now some are getting windows 2000) there is not a complete agreement on all of the available fonts! we won't even mention the problems that come up with other OS's, or MAC systems!
