Hi Dave,

Here is a solution for your problem (using Moodle 1.8).

1. In ► Administration ► Appearance ► HTML Editor

Font family editor fontfamily: at the end of the list of fonts, add ,Lucida Sans Unicode

at the end of Font list editor fontlist, add:

Lucida Sans Unicode | Lucida Sans Unicode

2. At the end of one of your current theme's CSS stylesheets, add this declaration:

.que .answer input {font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode";}

In teacher questions edit mode, short answer question type, type the answers to your questions using your usual (keyman) editor for Unicode characters.

In student mode, answers will be correctly displayed, see attached screen shot.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dave,
Just visited your test course at http://moodle.tulalipdata.com:8080/, Lushootseed ► Staff 101 ► Quizzes ► təb
However, I have no clue what answer is expected in question 1 : I invted you!
Plus, if expected answer involves using special characters (unicode), how do you expect the students to enter them? I mean, can they just use their normal keyboard keys, a combination of keys, or type the answer in e.g. their word processor then copy and paste into the answer box? or what else?

Hi Karen,

Moodle 1.5.3 is really a very old version (current version is 1.8) and you are probably using an old version of the Questionnaire module as well. In older versions of Questionnaire there was not much checking of the date format, which may explain the strange results you are getting. Things are much better now, but I'm afraid I cannot do much to solve your problem except suggesting not using the date question type but an ordinary "text box" question type. But then it all depends if you use your questionnaire data "as is" or if you export it to CSV (Excel, etc.) to further work on it. In that case you may have to do some manual re-formatting with your DOB data.

You can try current version of Questionnaire on my test site and see if it solves your problem. See explanations in this post.

All the best,

Joseph

Ray,
then you'll have to display the images in the left column, and matching text in the right column,
