Howdy,

Can anyone tell me how to bring fonts into game that are used for gestures and what not? Like the fonts with letters inside circles, or dingbat fonts like arrows.

Thanks!

Well There are a couple ways to do it.
You can use Windows Character Map or simply use ALT codes.
Using your keyboard hold down the alt key and use number key pad to insert numbers

For Instance holding down ALT and pressing 3 on your number key pad will make a heart shape (alt-3)=♥
Make sure you use the number key pad and not the regular numbers at the top

Another example would be alt-0174 will make the registered trademark symbol ®

You could probably google ascii codes and find lots to play around with
