PocketPC fonts

Post by yaccri »

I use the 'webdings' font to display the video controls (play, stop, pause,FF, REW). That does not display well on the PocektPC (IPAQ). Most of the characters are different or do not display anything at all. I guess that the PPC fonts are different from those of Windows PCs.



Has anybody found a font that would display these signes correctly on a PPC?



Thanks,

Yoram

I use "Wingdings 3" on my PPC without a problem. It doesn't have all of the control symbols, but I use the triangles for play and fast fwd/rwd. I think I had to copy the font over manually.

I found matching symbols in webdings that work for me (without installing fonts on the PPC).

Pause - 0x30

Rewind - 0x32

FF - 0x37

Stop - 0x3E

Play - 0x34



Its not perfect because it shows different symbols on the PC, but I can live with that.



Yoram.
