I am looking for a half circle so I can make a two colour cirlce marker symbol. Or an easier way to view all the fonts cause at the moment I am checking throught them one by one and it takes a long time

Ok I found one - Wingdings 2 has a half circle so with an offset I have a two colour circle. Still keen to find a nice big list that I can view all the fonts at once instead of hunting around if anyone knows of one

I've used http://www.neuber.com/typograph/ this program before for managing and previewing fonts - might be what you're looking for?

Hope that helps.

Thanks Dan that does look like the sort of thing I was after. Just tried to install though and it will not let me as I have limited rights to my work computer but if I get a chance I will try get IS to install for me.

On another note the map I was doing on Friday got changed on Monday and the request was now for one of the labels to have a three colour circle. After a quick search I found this page http://mappingcenter.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=ask.answers&q=1395 and installed the Esri wedges fonts from Mapping Center's ArcGIS Resources - Styles page. Great font to have with different size wedges to use

This must be so obvious so no one explains it, but I can't figure out how to install the wedges font.  The directions said to open in a browser window, right click, hit 'install' - But I don't see anything that says install. I tried in Windows, ArcCatalog, I opened Fonts in the Control Panel. So far I just have it sitting in my downloads folder.  I tried adding it in symbol selector, (style references, add style to list) but the symbols are wrong, so I think they have to be installed.
