Gentleman and ladies

I am looking for a font for geometric toleranceing symbols so I can use the symbols in a word document.

Do any of you have such a font and are you willing to share it with me?

Let me know if you are and I will send you my email address.

Thanks for looking, appreciate it.

ps see how nice I was when I want something. :rotf:

One was a read only document in word

But you have the right idea

Any others out there?

Did you download the GDT.ttf file and install it?

Then I opened a new Word document and selected the GDT font from the Word font drop down list. Using the 'key' in the downloaded Word document, I was able to generate all the symbols.

If I were on the computer I'd go to my fonts dot com/whatthefont upload a small tiff of a few scanned characters and it will give the font with links to buy/download. What was the 2nd link on above post? "Key" that sounds like a direct link to the font you're after.

I installed font Prairiehammer linked and it works on computer I installed it on.

 

What might be a problem is when document that was created is shared with another user that does not have the font on their PC, the font will not show up as intended. I don't know if there is a way to embed font in document.

I have to deal with this scenario at work frequently. I have a 2 prong solution. 1st never assume the receiver has the same app or platform you have. Mac/PC. Word/? Coreldraw/Illustrator etc but they probably do have the ability to open PDF files. Download and install a free PDF writer like cutepdf and print your file as a PDF. If weird fonts/graphics still present a problem convert to a readable graphic like jpg bmp etc then save as PDF. Sorry I don't have a free link for doing that as I use Corel.

Bubber,

Attached PDF is related to GD&T. May be of some help. I have it hanging in my office.
