never noticed it...

basically: you can type with the keyboard as soon as windings or zapf dingbats is the current font...

... i can't make my mind if this is the best way to do... for sure it does not seem to me a bad behavior...

The frame properties window shows that Wingdings IS the current font, but, for me, typing does nothing. No characters show up at all.

I think the characters that appear should be in whatever font is local. It is a pain to see a typo in a marked up word in a frame and have to mark up the word again.

Bit if that's the way its -supposed- to work, fine. But typing should do something.

on the one side i agree with you...

on the other side: there are no windings signs on your keyboard. so, someone could pretend that typing them does not really make sense (it's just a coincidence if some sign can by typed by pressing an "a"...)

you can't type on an image frame either... :-)

as i tried to write above, i don't know if the behavior is on purpose, but it's not that bad at all!
