There is no limit to the size of a true type symbol. Just do not use it as a
symbol but as text. If you look at the contents of MI Arrows in the symbol
requester you will see that there are all at the beginning of the character
table (! " # $ % & ). Locate the one you want and use the corresponding
character to create a text object, double click on it, use the style button,
set the font to MapInfo Arrows and the point size as large as you want.
You can also create it directly into the layout by using use the "create
text" statement (in the MapBasic window for ex.). This way you can set the
size of the arrow by specifying the actual size in inches (or cms depending
how you have defined the Set coordsys layout units " ") of the text box.
Mi arrows may be puny but they can grow!!!

Subject: MI BIG north arrows
Listers,
Does anyone have a nice-looking north arrow that can be made larger than the
ones in the MI Arrows font (max of 48 pt)? The aforementioned looks too
small on a 36" x 60" plot.
TIA
