Summary
Hi all, I'm currently using a custom font in-game, which occasionally displays a strange symbol instead of an arrow = "->" I have obtained a script snippet to fix the error, it fixes the strange symbol in a couple of areas, but I would also like to fix it in my Items list.

Hi all,
I'm currently using a custom font in-game, which occasionally displays a strange symbol
instead of an arrow = "->"
I have obtained a script snippet to fix the error, it fixes the strange symbol in a couple of areas, but I would also like to fix it in my Items list.
I think this is a fairly easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Any help fixing this one would be fantastic!
Thanks guys,
EDIT>
It is also displaying a strange symbol in my Items, Equipment and Skills lists.
You can access the Item menu by pressing insert.
Then using right arrow to move to the equipment list
and right arrow again to move to Skill list.
These are the menus that display the symbol.
Again, any help would be great!
As you can see in the attached image,
Scrolling through to the right menus (Equipment, skills) also displays
the box instead of the arrow.
