It is quite bizarre behaviour. I just tried it again. If I do as you say,
the font to standard symbols and start typing I get the greek symbols. If
I now start a bulleted list the bullets come our right too.
Now If I close abi and start it up again and first thing start a bulleted
list, the bullets don't come out right and all atempts to insert a symbol
into the list come out a regular Times New Roman characters even though
abi says the current font is Standard Symbols. It could be a clue that
something is very wrong in the piece table with a list in operation. I
have other hints this is the case too. Thanks for your help. It sounds
like a problem in the piece table but I will check to see what font called
in the draw routines next.
Cheers
Martin
