I am getting question marks in my reports around numbers (dates, generation, etc). I first discovered this when I ran an Ahnentafel report so I then tried a Pedigree Chart with the same result. I am using version 4.2.4 and the url is http://www.gontzfamily.org/phpgedview/
Does anyone have any ideas about what is causing this?
Thanks!

The choice of Helvetica font is causing this. Leave the font choice at the default "dejavusans".
The actual cause of the problem is that the numbers are wrapped in ‎ direction control characters, and the Helvetica font doesn't support RTL languages. The ‎ and several related characters are part of the RTL language support. They're supposed to be supported by all browsers.

Using dejavusans for the font in reports does resolve this issue.
Thank you very much!
