Free Font for Math Symbols?
Posted on 2011-03-07
Is there a source for a free math symbol font(s)?
I already checked 1000 freefonts but they don't seem to have any math symbol fonts. Or I didn't find them.
I'm looking for some of the more obscure math symbols.
The backwards capital E (there exists, there is, there are; existential quantification)
the logical negation symbol (can't be reproduced hee).

Hi,
I couldn't find an free ones (plenty out there you can pay for, but then its a license for every PC its installed on)
One way round it for now, assuming you're typing into MS Word.
To get a backwards E, type 2203 then press Alt+X (hold Alt and press X)
For any others, check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols
Just type the 4 digit number (without the U+) then press Alt+X

Very useful that 2203 sequence.
Is there a place that lists all of the ALT X characters?
Do you know of any reputable font vendors?

Not sure about reputable! but I have purchased fonts from www.fonts.com before with no problems. Price wasn't too bad for the one I wanted either, although some on there can get expensive.
A Google search for a list of unicode characters, would get you pretty much everything. Mathmatical symbols start with 22.....

I googled free math symbol fonts and got many results
Did you actually follow any of those links from the Google results, as none of them give anything useful

Third one in MY search list: Download location for Symbols 1.02
Here is a screenshot after installing on my PC:
There are some symbols that brothertruffle880 mentioned in his question.
I never select the first 1 or 2 Google results as they are ofted advertising!

True - nice one Paulsauve - I was looking specifically for 'fonts' you can install eg: ttf files
Looking at the last line of your screenshot led me to try in Word directly (now I know what to look for)
In MS Word, go to Insert > Symbol
Change the font to Arial Unicode MS, and the subset to Mathematical Operators (this font exists in at least Word 2003 onwards - I can't check earlier versions)
It will list all of the above, without the need to install anything, and give you the unicode code too just in case you need it

Had you mentioned Word in the question, i would have referred you to the Insert ·> Equation function!
