→Genealogical Symbols: 52
{{man warn|Prerequisites exist for this feature|The Genealogical Symbols tab can only be used if the [[#Prerequisite_to_use_Genealogical_Symbols|prerequisite]] program <code>[[#Prerequisite_to_use_Genealogical_Symbols|python-fontconfig]]</code> is present that Gramps can use.}}
[[File:EditPreferences-GenealogicalSymbols-tab-activateddefault-5152.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} "Genealogical Symbols" - Preferences tab - activated defaults]]
Allows you to use Genealogical symbols instead of text abbreviations in reports, charts and the Gramps interface.
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 "use {{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.
