To specify a symbol style based on a character from a TrueType font, use the following syntax:
SYMBOL (shape, color, size, fontname, fontstyle, rotation) The fontname argument is a text string that identifies the name of a font (for example, "Wingdings").
The fontstyle argument is an integer that controls settings such as Bold. The following table lists the values you can use as fontstyle.
| fontstyle value | Effect on Symbol style |
|---|---|
|
0 |
Plain text |
|
1 |
Bold text |
|
16 |
Black border around symbol |
|
32 |
Drop shadow |
|
256 |
White border around symbol |
To specify two or more style attributes, add the values from the left column. For example, to specify Bold and Drop Shadow, use 33.
The rotation argument is a floating-point number, representing a rotation angle, in degrees.
