This means that you cannot take *.ttf files used in Windows programs and use them without modification. Altering a font requires font editing software such as <strong>Font Lab</strong> or <strong>Macromedia Fontographer</strong>.

This means do not copy and paste the space character, create a new character with 0 side bearings. In the images below, these blank characters are illustrated as white squares in the Symbol image. Note the ANSI image has grey squares for completely missing characters instead. <span class="anchor" id="line-38"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-39"></span><p class="line862">Included below are two different examples of fonts, one in <strong>Symbol</strong> and the other in <strong>Windows ANSI</strong> for comparison. <span class="anchor" id="line-40"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-41"></span><ul><li><p class="line862">Windows ANSI: <a class="attachment" href="./marine_ANSI.zip" title="attachment:marine_ANSI.zip">marine_ANSI.zip</a> <span class="anchor" id="line-42"></span></li><li><p class="line862">Symbol: <a class="attachment" href="./marine_symbol.zip" title="attachment:marine_symbol.zip">marine_symbol.zip</a> <span class="anchor" id="line-43"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-44"></span></li></ul><p class="line867">
