What is CombiSymbols?
CombiSymbols is a collection of six OpenType fonts containing a large selection of symbols, logos
and icons for audio, video & software production, disc labeling and packaging, web graphics, Flash
animation, instructional design and documentation, map making, signs, office forms and more.
Below is a small sampling of glyphs from CombiSymbols 1, 2 & 3:

OpenType Format
CombiSymbols fonts are OpenType fonts with PostScript outlines. One of the main benefits of the
OpenType format is its cross-platform compatibility, meaning you can work with the same font file
on computers running Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and other operating systems. You can create
documents using the fonts on one operating system and open them on a different operating system
without having to re-format the document—provided, of course, the fonts are installed on both operating systems, which is simple to do since each font is contained in a single file that can be copied
and installed on different systems.
Installing the fonts
You install OpenType fonts just as you would TrueType fonts. Font files (CombiSymbols OpenType
fonts have the extension .otf) can be installed to various locations depending on the operating
system you are using. For Mac OS X users, font files are typically installed into the ~/Library/Fonts
folder (“User”) or the /Library/Fonts folder (“Local”). For Microsoft Windows, they are installed into
the \Windows\Fonts folder, but note that procedures and permissions differ depending on whether
you’re using XP, Vista or Windows 7. Please refer to your operating system manual for specific
instructions. If you use a font management utility such as Suitcase, Font Reserve, FontExplorer, et
al., please refer to that utility’s documentation for adding and activating fonts.

Most of the CombiSymbols characters can be typed
directly from standard US keyboard keys as shown above.
Some symbols, however, are located in positions beyond
the standard slots and require the use of Alt key combinations (Windows) or Option key combinations (Mac) to
create them.
Windows: Press and hold the Alt key, then type 0 (zero)
followed by the 3-digit decimal value of the desired symbol
using the Numeric Keypad.
Mac OS: Type the combination listed at left to create the
desired symbol. ⌥ represents the Option key.
† Use the glyph palette to insert.

The CombiSymbols Sound Mode Icons font includes an
OpenType layout feature to automatically substitute certain glyphs. This feature replaces a sequence of glyphs
with a single glyph, as shown at left. For example, rather
than looking up which keyboard character represents
the 5.1 surround icon, simply type 5.1 and the icon is
substituted automatically.
