Symbol Encoding

Yes or no?  That is the question!

Your E-Signature order form asks you whether or not you want your font to be symbol-encoded.  Here is some more detailed information to help you make an informed decision.

You may already have some fonts on your system such as "Webdings" or "Wingdings".  These are the perfect examples of symbol-encoded fonts.  Instead of producing numbers and letters when you type, they produce "symbols".

Whether your font contains one or many symbols, it could happen that you forget what each character position in the font represents.  For this reason, programs like MS Word have an "insert symbol" feature that allows you to visually choose the graphic you need.  This only works with symbol-encoded fonts.  Here is a picture of the "Wingdings" symbol-encoded font in MS Word:

With office 2000, it is recommended that your signature and logo fonts which do not contain any alphanumeric characters be set to symbol-encoding.  Otherwise, you will have difficulty selecting the font in a pull-down menu.  Here is an example of an Office 2000 font pull-down.

Notice how the pull-down uses the contents of the fonts to produce the font name.  "Wide Latin" is produced by using the characters in the Wide Latin font; the same applies to Vivaldi and Vladimir Script in this example.  Office 2000 does this for all non-symbol encoded fonts.  If the "William" font were non-symbol encoded, it would appear like the entry before the red "1" - assuming the signature was placed in either the "W", "i", "l" "a" or "m" position (which in this case it is, otherwise the entry would be blank).  The second font next to the red "2" is set to be symbol-encoded therefore the Office 2000 program substitutes a generic font to write out the "William Signature".  In the case of the font at "3", the signature is placed into the character "A" and therefore appears immediately after the font name (symbol-encoded fonts list the symbols in alphabetical order after the font name). 

There is a downside to symbol-encoding.  Some programs will only display non-symbol encoded fonts; examples are older e-mail programs and even some older word processors.  Some Java programs will not use symbol-encoded programs.  If you are in doubt about your applications, you can download our demo font (it is symbol-encoded) and try it out.
