G'day Steven,
Some years ago I did exactly this using a shareware program called Font
monster. I believe that this sort of change to the font is quite trivial
(just needs to be flagged as a symbol font) and does not need a fully blown
TT font editor.
Also, about 3 months ago there was a reference to a shareware font editor on
the list. I downloaded it and it looked good. Can't remember the name
'though. If you want to track this down, get back to me and I will hunt it
out on home PC.
