Hello, they only use the onboard tools of OJ for labeling. But first they used a font editor to create symbols like the documentated sample symbol-font. Than they put this as a new font (TVA_GK_2.ttf) in the system font folder to use this fonts in the labeling dialog (Change styles > Labels) of OJ. To demonstrate the effect strongly they created in the sample symbol-font different variations of the same symbol (with and withour concomitant lines or pixels) as described (one with a concomitant fence instead of the character A and so so on > see the former attach report).
