O.P. Undecided  Random annoying problem
Hi,

Just wondering if there was a way to fix this. In one of my contact's display names there is a character, which is supposed to appear as a reversed S (tried to post it but it won't show up here). It shows up OK on their computer, on the contact list and in a convo. However, for me...it appears OK in a convo (*person* says), but at the top of the convo and in the contact list it just appears as a square/box...any idea why this is? Obviously not a major thing, but if it can be sorted would be good. (Y):)  Thanks!

Forgot to mention, I'm using WLM 8.5, and Windows XP MCE, if that's any help.

RE: Random annoying problem
Because the contact window uses a certain font (say X) and your contact uses a certain font (say Y)
Since its in the chat window, the font Y shows the character because it has this character in question.
The font that the WLM window uses (font X) doesn't have this character and hence you see a black box ;)

Hope this helps. :) I'm not 100% sure but this is most likely the answer. This is what happens in most such cases :)
