https://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1269 See http://www.fonts.com/font/microsoft-corporation/ms-gothic/regular <http://www.fonts.com/font/microsoft-corporation/ms-gothic/regular> for Dingbats coverage, click “Character Map” and select “2700…27BF Dingbats”. — John > On 8 Apr 2015, at 13:07, John Hewson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> On 8 Apr 2015, at 11:22, Maruan Sahyoun <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> >>> Am 08.04.2015 um 20:05 schrieb Tilman Hausherr <[email protected] >>> <mailto:[email protected]>>: >>> >>> Am 08.04.2015 um 19:59 schrieb Eric Douglas: >>>> Where are you getting the Arial Unicode MS? >>> >>> C:\windows\fonts\ARIALUNI.TTF >>> >> >> we might be able to find a suitable font to be distributed with PDFBox such >> as Noto [1] which is ASL licensed (at least that's what they state) and they >> have a symbol font [2].
