Can i create my own windings? Dreams 12/17/2008 4:33:01 PM I think the subject says more than enough.

Re: Can i create my own windings? "CyberTaz" <typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet> 12/17/2008 4:42:02 PM It might say more than enough if we knew what "windings" were. On a hunch I'm gonna guess you mean Wingdings, which is a font just like Times New Roman or Arial except that the characters aren't alphanumeric. If you mean "can you add characters" to the Wingdings font the answer is no. However, if you have the appropriate software & requisite knowledge for designing your own fonts you can create anything you wish. -- Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Dreams" <Dreams[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4FEDB005-22D0-49B8-A438-6DE3D5A274AA[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Can i create my own windings? grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/18/2008 12:15:23 AM There is a way to add a character to a font (I found it once while exploring all the options in the Fonts window or in the CharacterMap window) -- but be warned, designing even one character is nowhere near as simple as it seems!

Re: Can i create my own windings? "Steve Yandl" <syandl_nospam_[ at ]comcast.net> 12/18/2008 12:28:55 AM In Windows (at least in version XP and beyond), you can add characters to a font set using the utility program, eudcedit.exe. The procedure is simple enough. The results are fine if your plan is to produce printed output or for output that is viewed on your own PC screen. The problem arises when you want to share the document over a network where the recipient doesn't have that custom character as part of their font.
