That's right. > In that case you are _definitely_ looking at the wrong symbol.

Well, in WinFin2003, the default library used by the document setup wizard uses the concave wedge. I never noticed that there was a convexe pair. I had found this preferable to the old wedges, which were just too fat, but good enough, though not perfect. In the Windows version of Maestro, the concave wedges are at character positions 171 and 216, the convex at 39 and 174. I'm glad this discussion came up -- I never realized the improvement was so great. -- David W.
