When you create a character, it will only exist on your system until you copy the font file to another system. &nbsp;It should be located in C:\Windows\Fonts\NAMEOFFON<wbr />T.ttf. &nbsp;Copy it to your desktop first, then send it along with your document. &nbsp;The recipient will have to install your font file to see the font that you want.

But why it needs a 'font file' ? Why it needs to serve with all the other abcd.... chars ?<br />
<br />
And why other machines can't recognise the symbol without the font file ?

Hi,<br />
Im wondering how can I create or draw a custom char( will result a unicode one - I think ? ) and then send it to an other computer and be able to view it.<br />
<br />
What I tried :<br />
- I know that Windows has a built-in app for this and is called : &quot;<i>Private Character Editor </i>&quot;.<br />
Its just perfect for me, but theres one problem : after creating my special char, if I send it on another PC via MSN,or even via a .txt file, I can't see it, only my comp can see it :( .<br />
<br />
What can I do ? :(

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
