Simply press Undo toolbar button, or, keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Z at once after AllMyNotes converts your text in to emoji symbol. This will restore your originally entered text and will be no need to change font :)

Hello :-)
If I write a colon+dash+bracket in a note, it will be replaced with an emoticon. OK, that's good function for save my time. But at the same time the font is changed to Wingdings(!). I understand, that emoticon is the char from Wingdings, but character replacement was done automatically by application, not by me, and it's obvious that I didn't want to change the font. Now I have to change manually font after each emoticon, which the original intention to save time sabotaging. Thanks much for consideration of solving this :-)
