Using dingbats in the Custom Keyboard Designer
« on: Mon, 01 August 2011, 03:46:13 »
The Custom Keyboard Designer has Wingdings 1, 2, and 3.

1. Select one of the dingbat fonts.
2. Type in the corresponding letter/number/symbol.
3. Adjust font size and alignment.

Is there anyway to do this with out ordering an entire set? I would like to order 2 x (flat 1 x 1.25, with wingdings "N" sz.15, one positioned in upper right corner and one positioned in upper left corner)

If this can be arranged I would like three sets of these CMD keys (white, black, red)

and possibly a couple enter keys like this
