Try this in OneNote SP2 with the (default) Default font set to Verdana:
1) Create a new text block by clicking in a blank space on a page
2) Note that the font is Verdana
3) Type 2202 (the font is still Verdana), then press Alt+X
4) The 2202 is correctly converted into a partial derivative symbol, but
the font has changed to Tahoma for no obvious reason
5) Press shift+left arrow to select the partial derivative symbol
6) Choose Format\Font or press Ctrl+D or use the drop-down list on the
toolbar to select the Verdana font
7) Notice that this works fine: the Verdana font has the same character
8) Ask yourself why the font was changed to Tahoma when Verdana works
fine for this symbol ...
9) Repeat step 3 (font is now Tahoma) then press a space
10) The font is back to Verdana, so the "current" Tahoma font was not
"remembered"
This happens for some characters but not others. It happens for FB01 (fi
ligature) and 203C (double exclamation mark) but not for 1EF9 (lowercase y
with tilde above), for example. All of these characters exist in the
Verdana font, so it seems buggy that some of them end up as Tahoma.
Hardly a showstopper, but it seems worth fixing. I realize that this is
just a note-taking program and not a word processor, but unnecessary and
unexpected font changes seem wrong anyway.
