Default changing font using conditional formatting

hi all

how can i change font using conditional formatting??

in fron my data i want to populate "!" (Font - Arial) or "ü" (Font -tick
mark in Wingdings) based on condition...

If I set font as Arial to that cell it always displays "ü" and not tick
mark.. I have to manually go and change the font to Wingdings to make tick
mark visible.

Any idea how can I handle this using conditional formatting??

or do i need to do a coding if yes!! how??

You can't change the font using Format|conditional Formatting (at least not in
xl2003).

It may make your life much easier if you used two cells.
