Ok, I have been following this thread and I want to understand something: I did NOT go to File > Utilities > Character Palette after starting FM10, but in my Task Manager, it does show CharacterMap.exe (FM 10, Win7, 64 bit).
Are you saying that this is the expected behavior?

In Task Manager, verify that CharacterMap.exe is in the list of running processes. Then close FM 10 and reopen it. See if CharacterMap.exe starts up when FM 10 does. Richard G.
