Dimension symbols won't display

Dimension symbols won't display

Dimension symbols won't display

(OP)
I'm running Solidworks 2006 and all my dimensions are showing the character text, not the actual character/symbol.  It was working fine, then everything converted over.  I'm definately not mistakenly typing in the wrong text string for the symbol.  It was almost like I toggled from "Display symbol" to "Display symbol string".

Its the same on part drawings and part files, but I can't find any selection to turn this feature on or off.  Help file did not mention the ability to toggle the dimension display either.

Nevermind.  Turns out the symbol library didn't load.
