Hi,

I'm using the "billiard ball" style numbers in the Wingdings font to
annotate a drawing (the "billiard ball" numbers are the ones where there is a
dark filled circle with a rather rounded white numeral in the center - sorry
can't insert it here - copy / paste doesn't work). The ones in Wingdings
work great, but I need more than 0..10.

Does anybody know of a font that has more numbers of this type defined?

Thanks.

There are some specialty fonts that are nothing but enclosed alphanumerics.
Some of them create double-digit numbers by using two characters that join.
There's one called CombiNumerals at
http://www.fontsite.com/Pages/FFDownloads.html, something called Bullet
Numbers at http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/wiesche...ullet-numbers/,
Circle Numbers at http://www.fonts.com/FindFonts/detail.htm?pid=415900. The
Enclosed Alphanumerics character subset of Unicode (font in Arial Unicode
MS) has circled numbers but only black on white.

CombiNumerals is the ticket.

Thanks Suzanne!
