Troubleshooting for Alt Codes with Symbol Font!

If you're having a problem with this, LISTEN.

These picture alt codes are special ones you can ONLY use in SYMBOL font. They're not the REGULAR ones. YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T CHANGE YOUR FONT TO SYMBOL before trying it.

Do that before you e-mail me and tell me "UR STUPID CODES DON'T ****ING WORK YOU *****!!!!" I am so tired of getting abuse because you people can't read directions.

Now. If you don't know HOW to change your font, try the EDIT menu in whatever program you're trying to use the different codes in, or there might be a drop-down Font box.

As of this writing, the Symbol fonts don't work in Hotmail or Gmail. Their font selection is very limited. Please let me know if this changes.

If there is a program not shown here you want to ask about, you can e-mail me. But first, try checking under the Edit menu or try right-clicking in the text window to see if there is a "Font" or "Text" option.

If there is no Edit menu or place to change your fonts, you probably CAN'T use the Symbol font alt codes in that particular program or application. There ARE places you can't use it.

If you have seen someone else use it or you're sure you can do it in your application but still can't figure it out, you can e-mail me. Feel free to include a screencap of the program you're trying to use and perhaps a paste of how someone is using the Symbol fonts; I might be able to figure it out and I am very helpful! But don't you dare e-mail me b.s. with a bunch of cuss words just because you either can't follow directions or you're frustrated and you feel like going off on someone who spent her own unpaid time making a free page to teach you this.
