Access to font symbols??

[haumana 1,220]

Does anyone know how to access the symbols that are packaged with fonts in SBE? I know that there are some that are accessible toward the bottom of the the SBE window, but it doesn't show what I need.

I'm trying to recreate this tiny logo and I have the right font, I just can't get access to the symbol.

Here's the font if anyone wants to give it a shot: http://midpacsolutions.com/cutter/SIMSUN.zip

If it is there is should be visible in the panel along the bottom of the screen. I don't see that symbol there either.

Sorry, but I don't think that symbol is in that font...

See attached - Hope this helps.

Those are the same symbols I see on the bottom too.

If you open up word, select the SimSum font, then go to insert>symbol, scroll a bit down, all kinds of kanji characters are selectable symbols. It's in the subset: CJK Unified Ideographs, but it is listed.

ARGH! It boggles my mind

It's a long way around but I can get them to Sign Blazer:

Open MS Word and insert your symbols.

Print your document to a .pdf file.

(if you don't have Adobe Pro you can use CutePDF for free: http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp#download )

Open your .pdf with Inkscape

Save as a .eps file.

Mahalo!  It's good to know there is a work around. It's not perfect, but it'll work.

There must be a thousand symbols there. How do you find the one you want and how do you know their meaning? It must be a hard language to learn, especially to write longhand.

Signblazer does not read 2 byte fonts, as are required to display asian charactors
