Generating characters in various fonts

Note: this page is no longer available in the VW archives. Someone accidently deleted ALL of the archives. I have also made some editor changes to the original postings. Remember: when you select a font, and others do not have that font on their PC, they are NOT seeing the same thing as you. These fonts are pretty universal for Windoze and Mac. I have no clue about Linux or Unix fonts.

Now, everyone say, "Thanks Dylañ!"

How to generate special symbols

Most of what you need to know is on the discusware site at

http://demo.discusware.com/demo/board-formatting.html

So CM, here's the heart you asked for,

\font{Monotype sorts,\char{170}}

then change the size and colour as usual.

BTW to centre (UK sp) use the \c tag

\c{\2{\red{\font{Monotype sorts,\char{170}}}}} ª

That's all very well but not much use if you don't know what character corresponds to each code, so I've generated a table.
