Orienteering Font
Updated with the new 2004 symbols
Did you know that there is an orienteering font that you can install on your computer? This font is sometimes used for control descriptions that you download from the web. You may also find them handy for producing orienteering articles and training packages.
Download the font and instructions, choose where you want to save the file and remember the location as you will need it later. You will then need to extract the 2 files from the zipped archive (usually by double clicking the zipped folder).
For Windows XP
To install the font, run the Control Panel (usually in the Main Program Group) and then select Fonts. Next click on the File button and then select Install new font use the directory and drive listboxes to navigate to the drive and subdirectory where you saved the o-font.TTF file. Click on the Orienteering Symbol font and then click on the Close button. The font now appears in the list of installed fonts and a sample is displayed. You can now close the Fonts and Control Panel windows. The Orienteering Symbol font is now installed and ready for use although some Windows applications may not recognize it until Windows has been restarted.
