Wish i could answer why...
But i'm having the same issues with populating a field in a feature class with the symbol for Triassic or Pennslyvanian.
"^" [ATTACH=CONFIG]27640[/ATTACH]
"*" [ATTACH=CONFIG]27641[/ATTACH]
Even in this thread they don't appear as the real symbol only the key you are supposed to press with shift to display the font.
how do we get the custom fonts from the FGDC GeoAge to appear in ESRI?!
thanks,
Dan
