I didn’t create thos symbols, they are already defined:
etc
Perhaps it would be possible to have a way to let the user choose what he want to display

That would help!
The selection option for the Death symbol was an obvious priority… it was needed to mitigate religious bias. (Thanks for including that option! The Skull&Crossbones seemed a more universal choice than the Cross.)
If this selection feature was expanded to all the symbols, it would be nice if such an option still allowed a (limited) text option for each. Perhaps with the choices being a file stored with the localization options?
I did immediately hack the birth symbol after installing the update… because the asterisk is already used for filters as a wildcard. Mine was set back to ‘b.’ But it would be nice to not have to rehack that after each update.
If we’re using a selectable symbol font, does our PDF generation include an embed fonts option? ( “ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)” or bitmapped text for nonstandard fonts)
At them moment, PDF generation with the symbols doesn’t apply for our reports, as I don’t think anything we print uses the symbols. They are only used in some of the views. And only a couple of views support printing. In that case, printing to PDF depends on the OS printer support, I have no idea if font embedding is available there.
