Foint/character/symbol set for shafts, adits etc.
Posted: 09/07/2012 01:02:44 Reply | Quote Hi all, I need a set of symbols for adding to maps to show adits, shafts, drifts and the like in Word documents and Photoshop CS or Elements. Anyone out there know where I can get my hands on these as a font set for use on a Windows PC? Preferably free, of course  Cheers D. IP: 91.43.107.7 |
