{{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-activated-51.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.
=====Initial setup=====
If the fontconfig [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Prerequisite|prerequisite has been installed]], then on the {{man label|Genealogical Symbols}} tab select the {{man button|Try to find}} button, Gramps will attempt to detect any suitable unicode text fonts that can be used.
When the search has completed select one of the fonts from the {{man button|Choose font}} list and then select the checkbox:
{{checkbox|1|Use symbols}}
{{man note|Use the [[Addon:Prerequisites_Checker_Gramplet|Prerequisites Checker]]|Do you have <code>python-fontconfig</code> installed?
