Forums Bug Reports UNICODE Errors - Black squares shown instead !char

I'm on Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate with mIrc 7.1 and I was going to report the same issue (except with character ♥ ) until I found this topic. So I looked again. Changing View, Font from the default of FixedSys to something like Consolas or Courier New resolved the problem for me (I'm still searching available fixed width fonts/sizes/regular or bold to see which combination I like best).

Edit: annoyingly, having discovered the above, I clicked "Use default" to switch me back to the default settings, and it now works with FixedSys as well.

Edit 2: although only until I minimised and restored.
