Curious7 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi there I work quite a lot with liturgy books and liturgical text. Is there somewhere the two symbols showed in the attached photo? Is there a way to insert that symbol if I would find it on the internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The Maltese Cross ✠ is Unicode character U+2720. The symbol ✙ is an Outlined Greek Cross (Unicode U+2719). https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2720/fontsupport.htm https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2719/fontsupport.htm jepho 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryLearnTech Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi @Curious7 This might not be any use to you, but here goes anyway. I did a little digging on my Mac and found several instances on both characters. And yes, they can be used directly in Publisher. Menlo appears to be an Apple font, and is therefore unlikely to be available on Windows machines (you've not said what you're working on). However, Meiryo and MS Gothic both seem to be Microsoft fonts. I'd guess I've got them by having Office 365 installed. Zapf Dingbats is probably Apple only (it been installed on Macs since about the stone age), but might be available more widely. Once I'd done my little bit of research to establish their existence, the layout below was produced entirely in Publisher. (The surrounding typeface in the samples below could, of course, have been anything I wanted. But I just left the entire paragraphs set in the same font that has the instances of your crosses.)

Curious7 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thank you all so much for your answers, that helps. I will find out if they are on my Mac Mini, Mac OS Sierra, font list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
