RE:MI Looking for Animal Fonts or Font tools in general

[Jacques Gelinas]

Lindsay,   There is two tool that we use to create/combine true type fonts. 1. Fontographer by Macromedia 2. CorelDraw V9   Note that the font that you create must be of type "symbol" otherwise MapInfo ignores them. This is why you don't see all your loaded fonts when you open the symbol tool(s). Also in order to get the desired inserting point, size ect... there are numerous design rules one must follow.   As for animal font you might find what you need at this site http://www.mapsymbols.com/   Hope this helps a bit   Regards, Jacques Gelinas   G�osph�re G�omatique______________________ http://www3.sympatico.ca/geosphere 265 Chemin Freeman Hull (Qu�bec) J8Z 2B1 819-773-4239     Hi listers - I am looking for TrueType or equivalent Windows font files with animal symbols in them - things like bison (buffalo), wolverines, marten and grizzly bears - not the standard horses ducks chickens thing. I have a couple of fonts from Microsoft - Animals1 and Animals2 but they don't cover all the species I need. I also need birds and fish... My request: 1: Anyone know where I can find these font files with relatively obscure species in them? Or 2: Anyone know of font tools I can use to create these files myself (either free/shareware or $$ware)? I could use the symbol editor (and have extensively in the past) but at the cost of flexibility - you can only use the results in MI while the TTF version can be used in MI and elsewhere.
