APL Characters

In theory, you should see APL characters with any ordinary font: nowadays any system font should contain those characters. It might not look nice, but it should work.

However, for best results we suggest to install the APL385 Unicode font anyway. Download here: http://www.dyalog.com/download/unicode/apl385.ttf This font does not only have all APL characters, it also looks nice.
