Hi, Markus,
Here's an old technique for bit-editing StrikeFont glyphs that we
used in ancient days to create the custom left-arrow and up-arrow
glyphs for the Comic fonts. I just tried using it in a modern image
and it still seems to work:
In an mvc project, evaluate the following:
(StrikeFont familyName: 'Helvetica' size: 10) edit: $_
Use the resulting bit-editor to edit the underbar glyph. Choose
"accept" from the bit-editor's yellow-button menu when you're done.
Then do likewise for the other sizes. (You'll probably want to do
this for the "^" glyphs as well.)
Cheers,
-- Scott
