Hey, I don't think you read your manual quite correctly.  Hitting
the command-shift-Q means that *only* the next *1* character is in
the symbol font.  (This lets the user avoid having to change fonts
twice, in cases where only an occasional symbol font character is
being used.)  If you want the symbol font to stay on, hit the
command-shift-q *twice*.  It should stay on then.

At least, that's the way it was on 3.01.  Haven't had occasion to
use it in 4.0 yet.
