I tried deleting prefs and it didnt work.

HARBS: Are you saying this is normal - please look at attached screenshot of my cahracter pallette.

This looks like arabic to me and not an icon. Thanks.

Shavua tov,

The digits pick up their style from the language the text is set to. If

you set the language to English, for instance, you'll get regular

digits. Alternatively (or indeed additionally), from the fly-out of the

character palette go to "digits" and select the type you want. It's

probably set to default right now.

HTH,

Ariel

So choose "Arabic" which is what we call regular digits (1234).
