5/8 symbols

[Wyndra]

Anyone have a solution to 5/8?

When I import from Word to PM the symbols go wanky.
Example:
should be - ¨÷ ¨ø ¨û ¨ü ¨ý ¨þ ¨ö ¨ú ¨ù
goes to - S! T! [! \! ]! ^! ¨ö ¨ú ¨ù
Typing in 15/8" looks bad.

Do I need a new set of fonts?

Oh great, they all go wanky here in HTLM!
should be small complete symbols for - 1/3, 2/3, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4.

The three following fractions can be attained using ASCII codes:

1/4 -- ¼
1/2 -- ½
3/4 -- ¾

It isn't that word knows anything special... it just has an engine to make that happen. When it detects multiple numbers with a "/" between them, it changes the way they're displayed. I think Works and WordPerfect do this too if I'm not mistaken.

Other than that, there's ascii codes but as was said, ascii only has 3 of them. Could also check Character Map (Runline command: charmap)

i hope you mean "wonky"

the verb "to wank" in english is slang for "to masturbate"
