Yes, you can create custom symbols and use them in our software if the symbol set you create is saved as a True Type Font (not unicode or double byte fonts).
There are many programs available that allow you to create symbols and save the symbol set to a True Type Font file [*.TTF]. We do not support these programs, but customers have found the following programs useful.
- TypeTool from FontLab
- CorelDraw
- Softy (shareware)
- Surfer, Grapher, and MapViewer also use the symbol sets and Altersym editor from the DOS versions of Surfer and Grapher at the Golden Software web site.
Once you have the [.TTF] file:
- Go to the Microsoft Control Panel and double click on the Fonts folder.
- Go to File | Install New Font and install the font you created.
- Once the font is installed on your computer, you can use the symbols within that font in our programs.
