Alex, Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure where in OSX 10.13.6 to look, but according to this page ( https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/12661/whats-the-font-in-mac-os-xs-gui <https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/12661/whats-the-font-in-mac-os-xs-gui> ) the default font is San Francisco. I don't think I've changed it. I cannot find SanFrancisco listed anywhere in the choices available to TextEdit, but I do see a lot of files named SF*.otf in /System/Library/Fonts which I assume are San Francisco OpenType font files. I also see SF OpenType fonts listed in SystemInformation/Fonts with many in the family "System Font" - all mention SanFrancisco in the Copyright. Lucida Grande displays the two arrows with different sizes. If you'd like to take this offline from the group, email me at mycall @ arrl . net.
