You can indicate how you want to draw symbols from early versions of MapInfo Pro (before 4.0). By default, MapInfo Pro draws these vector symbols using the True Type font. You can change the default to use characters from the MapInfo Symbols font.

To draw vector symbols with characters from the MapInfo Symbols font:

  1. On the PRO tab, click Options, and System Settings to open the System Settings Preferences dialog box.
  2. Select the Display Pre-Version 4 Symbols Using TrueType Font check box.

    Check this to draw vector symbols with characters from the MapInfo Symbols font. Clear this check box to draw vector symbols (default).

  3. Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
