RE: marker symbols...font kludge



Here's a kludge that might work. Warning -- it's fully untested.

There's a TT font file in fminit called fm5font.ttf. It contains the 
elements you want as character symbols. On my system, Character Map doesn't 
see the font, but you might be able to "install" the font in the fonts 
directory, then read it with Character Map and copy the characters as you 
would any other.

Perhaps there's a better way to read this file as characters. I'd be 
nervous myself about installing this font in a way other than the way Frame 
expects, just in case there's some buried assumption that will cross you up.

But if you have a way to un-package that font file, the symbols are in there.

Or ... use screen caps. :)
