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]])

===Customizing the date labels===
[[File:Relationships-category-view-50.png|right|450px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships Category view in Gramps version 5.0]]Prior to the Genealogical Symbols feature being implemented, birth and death data were explicitly labeled in English for the Active Person. This data was labeled with a simple abbreviation of label where more compact display was needed for the other relatives.
