The Symbology Exchange: TrueType Font (TTF) Symbols
Document Actions
Welcome to The Symbology Exchange. This section is for TrueType Font (TTF) symbols. Post your font files, or links thereto, here. We hope you find something useful.
If you have a symbol-font to share, or want to share the URL of such a fontset, please post it as a comment.
Guidelines:
- Please post a description of your symbols. "Various symbols" is
nice, but if you can list what they are or at least say whether there's
a focus, that would be great.
- If you're able to post a link to seeing the symbol in action, be it a static image or its usage in a real map, that would be ideal.
This How-to applies to: Any version.
