: NO!! I NEVER accept this suggestion!! Using tags such as <nowiki><span style="font-family:'Arial',sans-serif"></nowiki> is indispensable for preventing backslashes to display as another character (such as a yen sign) despite font settings!! COULD you deal it!? --[[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] ([[User talk:Xenllium|talk]]) 01:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:: Honestly, I'm pretty sure just accepting "7¥12" as valid edostep notation is a reasonable approach at this point. -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 01:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I like this idea, I've added ¥ as officially meaning the same thing as \ in the [[glossary]].

:: If it doesn't work through browser settings, then I wonder if some user CSS code could do it. For example, I have my own user CSS page here: [[User:Fredg999/common.css]]. I think the stuff that's currently in there isn't relevant anymore because it was implemented site-wide since then, but it should give you an idea of how it works, at least. You might be able to define a CSS rule that sets the default font to Arial, which should work the same as a span tag, except it would be applied everywhere automatically. See also [[Help:Advanced formatting of wiki pages]]. That said, I think searching for a workaround at the browser level has more chance to work quickly. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 03:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
