The sharp symbol is not an issue, the FLAT symbol is. I tried using the "Jazzcord" font, but still have the same problem, namely it uses a small letter "B" instead of something that looks like a flat. Interestingly enough, when I surround the suffix with () the flat symbol looks OK. However, that causes the chord to take up much more space than I would like. I.E. Dm7b5 is preferable to Dm7(b5). More of a nuisance than anything else, but my clients will use that as an excuse to not pay me - - - Yours; Tammy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
