Genealogical Symbols
This tab gives you the possibility to use one font which is able to show all genealogical symbols. (Once configured see: [[#Prerequisite_to_use_Genealogical_Symbols|Prerequisite to use Genealogical Symbols]])
If you select the ☑{{man label|use symbols}} checkbox, Gramps will use the selected font if it exists.
This can be useful if you want to add phonetic in a note to show how to pronounce a name or if you mix multiple languages like Greek and Russian.
For a test Windows 10 computer with 191 font families installed, <i><b>only one</b></i> Unicode font (Segoe UI Symbol) was found that included all the required glyphs.}}
When the search has completed select one of the fonts from the {{man label|Choose font}} list and then select the checkbox:<br />&#x2611;{{checkbox|1man label|Use use symbols}}checkbox.
