The fonts are more than just for particular languages Mike, although that’s their primary function. The font will have nothing to do with your banning 😊

At least this thread has prompted to find out how to take a screenshot on an iPad so then I’ll know what to do if it happens again. :agree: EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

Interesting comment, Eric.
Do you only use your iPad, or do you have a desktop too?
I couldn't get by with a small screen.

Hi Mike. I have a desktop as well which I use for fs and occasionally printing documents using MS Word. I use it almost everyday but the majority of my browsing is done from my iPad mini for convenience and which of course is portable. I also print from it sometimes but the pc gives me more printer options. The iPad screen is also larger than those on smart phones. :) EricT

My only reason for doubting the font, Ben, is that I have no reason to use a Korean font, and I wonder if it's been installed on my system so that Koreans can hijack and use my connection, leading to these blacklist events.
There is a list of standard Windows fonts here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_t ... ft_Windows and Batang has been part of most Windows installations since Windows XP. Windows will normally install a range of fonts, including some non-English ones, with every installation based on regional settings and Microsoft preferences. A clean install of Windows 10 in a US environment does not include Batang (see list at the bottom of that Wikipedia page) but it might well be included in an Australian installation. I wouldn't worry too much about strange fonts on your system. They can't have anything to do with you being blacklisted.
Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.
