Dwingo Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I had to format my hard dirive and start from scratch. Win 98. Now I don't see the suit symbols in BBO Forum posts, like ♥ . INstead I see a line. Can someone help in overcoming this problem? Thanks in advance Godwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkljkl Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hello, I am not a computer expert, but her my experience: a) While in the past I saw the suit symbols, I do not longer see them and see the coulored lines too. b) I would guess that something has been changed about the font of the suit symbol. c) My browser (Opera) gives me the option in which "mode" I want to see a web page. With a keystroke I change from "as the programmer wants me to see it" to "customer modus". So I get all the symbols again visible (in black) since a font is used that is on my computer. Again, just a guess. ciao stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 CSS includes this in the suit definitions: font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif However, it uses Unicode. IIRC, Win 98 supports it, but may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwingo Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 When I reply to post, I am able to see Suit symbols in the heading Code Buttons, but unable to see suit symbols in regular posts. Whats is CSS? Am I to download something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Microsoft has a Unicode Arial font that I believe comes with more modern versions of Windows (and various other Microsoft products like Office). If you do a web search for "Windows Arial Unicode" or similar you should be able to get more information. Hopefully you can download this font for free, but I think it is massive file (around 20MB). I strongly suggest you consider getting either XP or Vista. I suspect you will find yourself having more and more problems in the future if you stick with 98.
