Missing Symbol font in .NET

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why the 'Symbol' font doesn't exist within my .NET framework environment?
It is definitely installed on the computer, I can access it in word or using a RichTextBox control but when I enumerate fonts installed within ..NET using the following code then it isn't listed.
foreach (FontFamily ff in System.Drawing. FontFamily.Fami lies) {listBox1.Items .Add(ff.Name);}

Is there any way to install it?

Cheers,
Warwick

Further investigation suggests that my PC doesn't have a type type Symbol font installed.
Looking in my Windows\Fonts folder there is a Symbol.fon file but no Symbol.ttf
I assume that .NET only uses true type fonts.

Hi. I'm using VB6 and trying to read in a simple text file. I'm using a statement similar to the following, which generally works fine. Input #Item, variable1, variable2, variable3, etc. The problem is that one of the strings that is read in, variable2 in the above example, is a square symbol, . An error is thrown, and I can't find a way to work around it. (I'm stuck reading in that symbol, i.e. I can't just change it in the text...

Here is the code, it's not complete of course....I've been inserting lines as I go to pinpoint the issue.....I understand that the error message I'm getting (#185 Missing Default Property) is referring to "textfile" but I can't find any information as to what the default property SHOULD be....

I developed a little javascript library for implement instruction like LINE (x0,y0,x1,y1) or drawImage(x,y) and, to make it short, the graph commands of JAVA. It is based on the <span> tag.

Hi all, There is a symbol used in Paris for the Metro system, which is a capital M inside a circle. It's used in tourist guidebooks and in weekly papers and such. Does HTML have an equivalent? How about other well-known systems like the London Underground ?
