Hi,

We want to add custom symbol in text symbol. In this we have added symbol but not able to create it filled, 

if we give polygon 1 at top then it create all symbol as filled. and if we add polygon only for required symbol then it will not work. So please can anyone guide for proper syntax to add filled symbol.

Hi,

 

look into filled.src. I guess the header of this file contains setting related to filled display of the font.

Hi Martin,

 

Thanks for your reply. In filled.src they defined polygon 1 at top and similarly if we define polygon 1 in special.src then it creates all fonts as filled.

So is it need to add our custom filled symbol in filled.src instead of special.src ? I want final symbol library as shown above.

Hi,

 

I guess that the main problem is a fact that you cannot define font, which contains mix of filled characters and non-filled characters. Unfortunatelly I cannot give you any suggestion how to solve your problem.
