Posting on forms because that is the most likely place this font would be used. The issue was raised in this thread
where it appears font characters have changed. If it was just the OP then that would be one thing, but when I checked I get the same characters they do.
I've done some more investigating and can find nothing to explain it. Every font listing I've found show the original characters used in my example (now updated to use wingdings)
two links here
clearly show capital O and capital P for wingdings 2 are a cross and a tick respectively, but now show O and P, whilst the updated post now uses wingdings characters 253 and 254 which the attached show as a phone in a circle and some weird character.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be occurring? If I use the characters in Word, Excel or Publisher they appear correctly as cross and tick with wingding2 font characters O and P, so would appear to be the result of a setting in Access.
I've also rebooted to see if that solved the problem, but no change.
