Here is a funny thing, though: I tried that site with a g-clef (𝄞) - hopefully at least someone can see it… it is U+1D11E). I have the symbol in my system and it works great, but according to that site none of my fonts have it! So why can I use it? I recently installed the latest version of my OS rather than just upgrading, because I wanted to get a new start with only the applications that I need and so on, I was experimenting a lot with the old version. When I had the older version I had a font called Euterpe installed. It is a font for musical symbols, such as the g-clef and many more. But now, with the new version of my OS, I didn't install it, but I can still use my musical symbols… I find that a bit strange… Regards Johnny Rosenberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
