Symbols don't render in New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge makes use of a system of symbols to indicate the nature of its various cross references. These are not rendering correctly for me inline. They are, however, properly displayed in pop-ups and the Power Lookup tool. (See screencap for an example.) Any ideas?

This is likely a font problem. If you switched from the default font that is probably causing the problem you are seeing.

Yes. they should look like the popup image. What OS do you have? If you have changed the Default Font in Program Settings then reset to original value.

Dave and Mark, you're right on the money. I changed my default font earlier in the day, and hadn't thought about it since.

It appears to be a question of the font supporting the subset of the Unicode spec that includes those glyphs. I tried out as many other Unicode fonts as were on my system, and only found Arial Unicode and Lucida Sans Unicode to have all of the necessary glyphs.

I see that there's a Logos symbol font. I assume that is what's being used to draw the glyphs in the pop-ups? And the reports worked, because the default font doesn't seem to affect those.

It's too bad Logos doesn't code the resource to specifically call for that symbol font for just those particular characters, regardless of the font chosen for the rest of the text. Or, alternately, allow the default font to be changed on a per-resource basis. Otherwise, the ability to change the default font is quite a bit less useful that it would otherwise appear...

It's not that I don't care for the default fonts - I think they're a nice improvement over v.3. It just would be nice if the ability to change them didn't muck up resources unnecessarily.

Anyhow, thanks for setting me on the road to glyphdom, fellas! [:D]
