Hi, I am creating training where mathematical symbols including "greater than or equal to' and less than or equal to' feature a lot.
However I can't find a font where these symbols will display on publish. They are in the symbols list, appear when creating the slides but preview or publish and they vanish.
Does anyone have a solution? I have tried obvious fonts such as Arial and Verdana. Articulate font only has basic maths symbols so no joy there.
Funny, just yesterday I was trying to figure out an easier way to find symbols when I need them. Gerry to the rescue! Also Gerry - your parentheses ended up as part of your hyperlink and it's messing up the link. I had to copy/paste the address to get it to work. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks the nice words and, more importantly, thanks for the heads-up, Jill. I've fixed the link.
When you mentioned character map I thought perhaps we could save selected symbols into a different char. set location such as into the Articulate font which would make life easy. There must be another way to do this.
Anyway I tried copying from Character Map and pasting into Storyline but on Preview, same thing, the symbols disappeared. Is it just me???

As an option, if using Windows, try using Character Map ( http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/charmap.html ).
Find the font and character you need in Character Map, select it and copy it and then paste into Storyline.
I use this all the time to insert em dashes.

Are you pasting from the Character Map into a text box in Storyline?
I see the issue.
When the symbol is in an animated block of text it doesn't show.
Similarly when I have formula with variables in an animated block a lot of the
line breaks are not coming across so formulas end up on top of text.
Looks very much like a Storyline bug.
