I am working on an astrodynamics test with the usual quantity of mathematical equations, Greek symbols, etc. I use MathType as an equation editor since it has more extensive capabilities than the FM equation editor. 

 

Traditionally there are several symbols used to represent the planets, earth, sun, moon, Ares, etc that are basically astrological symbols. I could use these symbols in FM directly if I could find / make them.

1.      Does anyone know of a font that includes these symbols?

2.      How hard is it to create such symbols and be able to use them in FM (particularly as subscripts)?

3.      Thanks,

A google search of "font zodiac sign" turns up a number of links; I'm sure you could modify the terms and find many more.  Here's one:

"ASTROGADGET is a True Type font which contains all the star sign symbols (glyphs) and planets plus other astrology related symbols"

HTH,
