Geometrical tolerancing symbols

Mossy · Apr 10, 2013

Hi,
Does anyone know of or have a geometrical font type so whilst in a windows word environment you can access and use (e.g. parallelism, concentricity) symbols.
I really need to tidy up my product reports and not have hand squiggles!!
Maybe I have this already embedded without knowing!

Thank You for you're time.

Hi Mossy,

Try this:
GD&T TTF (True Type Font)

A quick caveat: This method will work wonderfully if you are going to print out the report to send a hard copy to your customer, or keep a hard copy for yourself. If you are going to send the report electronically (e-mail), the person receiving it will need to have the same font installed on their computer in order for the GD&T symbols to appear correctly. If they don't, the symbols may appear as gibberish, or just random letters.

If you are creating a PDF (Acrobat file) to send electronically, the printer driver usually has either an option to embed font characters in the PDF file, or an option to convert font characters to curves. These options are there precisely to deal with the "recipient probably doesn't have the same fonts installed as the sender" problem.
