Greetings, Thanks very much to each of the responders to my request, especially Mats Elfstrom and Karl Urich for their direct assistance. I was looking for a way to convert a TrueType font to a symbol format that MI could read. Here's a summary of the responses (in no particular order): 1) Andre Conrady suggested to: "Try a little shareware True Type font editor called Softy. You find it under http://www.netlabs.net/hp/eburke/index.html." 2) Neil Moseley noted that: "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." 3) Anssi Joutsiniemi said: "The trial version on TypeTool is downloadable from URL http://www.fontlab.com/tt_main.htm. I've been quite satisfied with it." 4) Jeff James provided the do-it-yourself approach: "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." Hope this helps anyone else with a similar issue. Thanks again.
