    Default Modifying font files to add custom characters

    Does anyone know how I can either modify font files in order to create my own codes? I have used the Romans font at other companies where the "|" (the symbol above the back slash on the keyboard) inserts the delta symbol. I used this for arc aligned text. If I use the Unicode (U+0394) it does not work along the arc text. Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Yes, you can modify acad fonts but it will be much quicker and easier to ask someone at your old company to sent you a copy of theirs.

    Of course, be sure the font you receive from them isn't protected by copyright.

    Hi Chris

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD 3D (2006 or below) forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike
