Unless you use a font that has two lines.

I'm typing using a font with one line - you yanks are reading something
that isn't there.

You don't type 'in' a font. You just type.

When I press the "$" key the character "$" pops on my screen in the font
I have selected. When my post hits your screen the character appears in
the font you have selected.



Your news client will have some font selected to display what you type.

They might (although I doubt it) be the same font. So you might see one

Sure - but I typed the character that appears on my keyboard with a
single downstroke.
