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.
 
You can only configure the death symbol from this tab.
If the [https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/ fontconfig] [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Prerequisite|prerequisite has been installed]], then on the {{Man menu|Edit ➡ Preferences ➡ Genealogical Symbols}} select the {{man button|Try to find}} button, Gramps will attempt to detect any suitable unicode text fonts that include gylphs for all the required symbols.
On the other hand, genealogical charts and books have been being printed for centuries. It is possible to hack the hard-coding to use other standards.
