Typing Hearts in-game (weird characters)
-
Left Alt + char code on the numpad (make sure num lock is on).
-
You might need to find the good key code for the specific fonts used in FL, Arial Unicode MS and Agency FB.

Hi Menace,
I can’t speak to anything past Win98, but you don’t need to change anything.
To test:
- open any kind of text editor
- if the option is available, choose a font
(the most interesting is the old DOS termiinal font)
3a) While HOLDING DOWN the “Alt” key, type a 3-digit number between 000-255 on the keypad
3b) Release the “Alt” key
The alphanumeric character of that font represented by the number should appear in yor text line in the editor. Not all characters in a font will necessarily display.
Alternatively:
While holding down the “Alt” key, press “0” on the keypad, then a number 3-digit number (000-255) and release the “Alt” key and you can get alternative alphnumerics in many fonts.
This is built into windows, but may not work with all games and apps. For Freelancer, find the font used in the Chat window, set that font in a text document, type each number, 1 at a time (trust me, I know it’s tedious), save it and you’ll have a reference.
Hope this helps
