| | Posted: | | | | This is pretty minor, but it's regarding the fractions in the titles of Naked Gun. The one-half fraction looks like a "real" fraction, but the one-third looks like 1/3. Any idea how to make the 1/3 look as the one-half fraction looks? I opened a blank Word document and typed 1/2, then hit Enter and it automatically changed it to a normal looking fraction. However, when I tried it on 1/3, it didn't change it. Doh!

-edit-
Interesting.. it works when I preview the post (I see it as a proper 1/3 fraction) but then when I post it changes to a question mark.
Okay, well try this. In Word, set your font to Times New Roman, Ariel, Courier New, or pretty much any standard font. Then click on Insert -> Symbol and you'll get a character chart which does show other fractions such as 1/3 and some others. You can select them and they display properly. Now, whether you can copy/paste that into DVDP or anywhere else remains to be seen. Obviously, it doesn't work here on the forums. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

| | Posted: | | | | It looks like the forum fonts is fixed and it ain't one of those. Thus no character. |

| | Posted: | | | | I also tried adding the unicode 1/3 character from character map straight into a title field as a test.
But as soon as I pasted, it turned into a strange asian-looking symbol. |

| | Posted: | | | | This website/forum has no defined charset in the HTML code. Each browser has a fallback solution, which is usually ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15. And these charsets only know ¼, ½ and ¾. But at least "platform 9¾" is no problem.  | | | Karsten
