I'm running IE8. What font do I need to see all the unicode symbols used here at Physics Forums? I'm currently using Times New Roman, which gets most of them, but I still see occasional square blocks.
The font used for the unicode at PF (Physics Forums) is called "DejaVu Sans" which is a free and open-source font.
The "DejaVu Sans" font was chosen for its extensive coverage of unicode characters, making it suitable for displaying various mathematical and scientific symbols frequently used on the forum.
Yes, you can change the font for the unicode at PF on your end by adjusting the font settings on your web browser. However, the default font for the forum will still be "DejaVu Sans".
Yes, there are other fonts that can be used for the unicode at PF. However, "DejaVu Sans" is the recommended font as it is specifically designed for displaying unicode characters and is widely supported.
No, the font used for the unicode at PF does not affect the functionality of the forum. It only affects the visual appearance of the characters displayed on the forum.
