You could do the following:
1. Go into Word (or anything, really), and type a character on the screen
the color and size you want to see it.
2. Do a PrntScrn of the screen.
3. Go into Paint, and select the 32x32 pixel containing the font character.
(May require some zooming in, and pixel-counting.)
4. Cut the selection out, open a new bitmap, set the size to 32x32 pixels,
and paste the selected image.
5. Save the image into the CustSymb folder as a 256 color bitmap.
That ought to do it, and shouldn't take more than five minutes or so.

Subject: MI TrueType font to Symbol?
Greetings,
We've been given a TrueType font that we'd like to use as a symbol, but
MI won't show the font (named "Untitled") in the symbol list. I've
looked through the archives, and the only solution I could find was to
buy Fontographer from Macromedia (US$399). We also tried to convert the
font in Adobe Photoshop to a bitmap and import as a custom symbol, but
the quality was terrible. We'd appreciate any ideas and suggestions
about how to tackle this one.
TIA,
Steve
