Lars,
Thanks for the info
I've tried that and it's almost but not quite the same.
e.g. Mapinfo 3.0 symbol set has a square with a shadow, I can't quite
reproduce it
exactly using the 'Mapinfo Symbols' font (even with the drop shadow
checkbox)
As a background there is a user configuring a workspace with Mapinfo, the
client wants
to be able to view this map via an intranet hence the MapXtreme/MapX geoset.
Unfortunately this won't be a one-off conversion but likely to require
regular conversions
so I was hoping to find some way of obtaining the font or whatever it is
that the Mapinfo 3.0
set of symbols uses.

Hamish,
There is a TrueType font called "MapInfo Symbols" that implement the same
symbols
as the old 3.0 vector symbol library. Use that instead in MI Pro, and I'm
sure it'll work in MapX.

Subject: MI Pro symbols -> MapX symbols problem
Hello all,
I've used the geoset.mbx utility to convert a workspace to a geoset
and I'm
having a few problems (especially since I'm no expert in either
application).
Specifically......
A symbol defined in the workspace as a Mapinfo 3.0 Font symbol appears
in
the workspace file as ....
Global Symbol (32,16776960,5)
converted to the geoset appears in the .gst file as
"\TABLE\4\DISPLAY\SYMBOL\CODE" = "32"
"\TABLE\4\DISPLAY\SYMBOL\POINTSIZE" = "5"
"\TABLE\4\DISPLAY\SYMBOL\COLOR" = "16776960"
But when I edit using geoset manager it shoes the layer as having an
override style but the font displayed is arial with no symbol
selected.Mapinfo 3.0 is not shown as available in the font combo box.
Hopefully there is some way of MapX/geoset manager installing the
Mapinfo3.0 symbol font. If someone could tell me how or of some work around
I would be extremely grateful
TIA
Hamish
