Windows 10: Digit grouping symbol display problem on specific fonts

HiDigit grouping symbol usually displays as a comma "," or space " " like 1,500 or 1 500. But some fonts display a square instead of comma or space. I have changed comma to space in windows settings, but it didn't help. Have to mention that I don't have such a problem on my work computer, when using the exact font.

Unable to type symbols using Arial font on Pure Basic after Windows updates

Hello Marco,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to get the ★ symbol in the Pure Basic application using Arial font while programming after the Windows 10 updated to 1809.



I tried reproducing the same on my machine with Windows 10 1809, and I was unable to type the symbol using Arial font. However, I would suggest you to check this work around where in, you can select the Segoe UI symbol font, as the
★ symbol works fine on that font. You can follow the steps mentioned below to change the font.

1. Open Pure Basic application and click on File.
   
2. Now select Preferences and click on
   Editing option under Editor.
   
3. Now click on Select font and choose
   Segoe UI symbol.
   
4. Click on OK and Apply.
   
5. Click OK to close the editing window.
   

Hope it helps.
