What I wrote my first try with this auction is below. I'll try to explain here more clearly exactly what it is that I need.
I need a FileMaker Pro calculation? created (that I will use in a calculation field) that will recognize all fonts used in a source field and return the data from the source field? coded in HTML with the appropriate font or font family.
E.g., source field contains some text, say "The dog barked all day long. " where the phrase "The dog" is in Arial font, "barked all" is in Symbol font, and "day long. " is in Arial font again. (The field by default displays text in Arial font; during data entry I've manually changed the text "barked all" to Symbol font).
I want the calculation field to display: <FONT FACE=Arial>The dog </FONT><FONT FACE=Symbol>barked all </FONT>
<FONT FACE=Arial>day long. </FONT> (or the equivalent in whatever is the most current HTML).
Is this even possible?

(Original request below)
I'm not sure how to explain this...
I? need someone very familiar with Filemaker Pro text calculations to write a calculation that? will recognize? any text in a source field that is in Symbol font and will output that text with HTML tags and will not modify any other text in the source field.? I.e., the source field will often contain text in both Symbol and Times New Roman fonts.
For example,
Source field: Don't eat the? P [in this case the letter P would be in Symbol font,? thus the Greek letter Pi].
Calucaltion field: Don't eat the <FONT FACE=Symbol>P</FONT>.
