Thanks for telling me that it was not only my stupidity that prevented me from succeeding!

I know how to use different fonts in chessbase. Let me tell you it is not easy! You need a good font editing program. Chessbase only recognizes the default font files. In order to use other fonts you have to manually edit a chessbase font file by copying, pasting and aligning the new fonts in where the old fonts are(king for king, etc.).
Huh, that sounds deterrent! Fortunately I have some friends who don't share my attitude to computers (did I already mention that that sometimes tends to be a little bit negative ...?), so when I meet with them next time, we might have a wonderful computer session instead of drinking a horribly cold saturday afternoon beer, which is bad for the health anyway!

I tried for about about 20 minutes in CB and failed, then tried in Arena for less than 5 minutes and succeeded!
The good news is that Arena is free to download and much more intuitive than CB, the bad news is that it only handles pgn and you may not want to change your database program.
Thank you for the hint. Certainly I'm reluctant to change my database program, but I definitely will have a look!
Probably I'll have no internet access for some days from tomorrow on, but if any of the forum members stumbles on this thread and has a nice,
EASY (sorry, no shouting intended!) solution for my problem, please tell!
Have a nice week!
