I'm needing to type some documents with pilcrows (the paragraph
symbol). I'd like a font that has a pretty one. I don't care for the
ones that have the backwards-P part completely filled in. What fonts
have a nice pilcrow?

I've been using Edwardian Script for a project, and it has quite a flossy
one.

THanks to both of you for the suggestions on pretty pilcrows. Is
there a way I can make it a default -- so that whenever I use alt+182
I get the pilcrow in the pretty font, not the font of the paragrpah
I'm working in?

BTW, is there a better shortcut key to the pilcrow?

Save the formatted pilcrow as a formatted autocorrect entry and use (say) #p
as a trigger

Thanks Graham. I knew that -- but had forgotten until you reminded
me. :-)

By the way: You can select a ¶, open "Format > Font", and scroll through the fonts with the Down arrow.
You'll see the character in the preview.
