We frequently want to use some standard IEC symbols in our manuals, and we have some of them in some sort of graphic format (I'm not sure which one). We also use things like agency marks, our product or company logos, electrical symbols, etc, in manuals, product literature, and internal documents.
What would it take to convert symbols to characters in a font set, so that inserting them in a Word document would be as simple as changing the font and hitting the right key? Does anyone out there know how to turn a .bmp, .gif, .tif, etc into a character in a font, and how to create a new font-set? Is this built in to Word or Windows, or available as some sort of after-market font-creation software package? Any help that anyone can offer will be most appreciated. Thanks.
