Font with letters and arrows

Jun 18, 2011 at 20:03

Hi. I'm wondering if someone can help me find a font.

I need a font with regular letters (it can be handwritten, sans serif, serif... I don't care), but that some of the symbols are replaced with arrows. I just need right, up and down arrows.

I don't know if I'm making myself clear :S

Here's an example: http://www.dafont.com/throw-my-hands-up-in-the-air.font

This font has all the regular letters, but if you look at the symbol "~", it is replaced by a right arrow. Is there anything like this, but with up and down arrows as well?

Thanks, but none of the fonts in the link you posted have both regular letters AND arrows...

What I'm looking for is a font to write my college notes, with A's and B's and C's, but when I need to quickly insert and arrow, I can just type a symbol. Like in the ine I gave as example: I can write words regularly, but if I need to tyoe an arrow, I just need to type "~", and it shows an arrow. I want something exactly like that, but with up and down arrows as well...

Why don't you just use the 'insert symbol' function?

Because when I'm in the middle of class, I need to be very quick to type. The teachers speek really fast... And besides, I like to take my notes in PDF X-change to anotate the slides my teachers provide, and that program doesn't have the 'insert symbol' option...

Just a dumb guess... But how about writing "->" ? Seems like an easy arrow to make.

Yeah, but I need up and down arrows as well... I keep using "^" and "v", but when I go review my notes, it gets really confusing...

I keep searching, but can't find anything. Well, thanks anyway.

Arrows position 2190 @ 21FF

You can change the position for personal use.

I'm sorry, I'm feeling really dumb, but how do I do that?

Another solution is a modified keyboard.

Or tell me which FREE font you would like to use and I'll get you the arrows at { } [ ] or any other place on the keyboard that you are not likely to use.

Again, sorry, but I don't know how to do that either (I've tried to google it already).

Thanks, but as I said a few posts above, I also need to use up and down arrows.

Really? Thanks!!

I like this one: http://www.dafont.com/liberation-sans.font?fpp=50&a=on&e=on

I use [ ] in class, so I need these characters. But { } are fine. ~ and ^ are fine too
