[comp.fonts] looking for Adobe compatible Symbol font

hammer@cs.purdue.EDU (Adam Hammer) (05/23/89)

     I am looking for a font that is similiar to the Symbol font in
Apple LaserWriters.  We have a Qume CrystalPrint printer, and the
symbol font is enough different to cause problems with eqn.  Any
pointers to a suitable replacement would be appreciated.

I'm currently working on a symbol font using glyphs from the (freely
distributable) Hershey collection.  So far I'm missing quite a few
pieces including a few math symbols and the multi-part versions of
paren/bracket/brace/integral.

Which symbols are you having problems with?
