Using AutoCAD Unicode symbols in Excel

[mikegera]

Many of the "AutoCAD" Unicode symbols transfer seamlessly to Excel.  For example: U+2205 (diameter symbol).

Some, however, such as U+E100 (boundary line symbol) do not.

Is this a font issue?  Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

EDIT:

I just realized that there's a list of supported fonts at the bottom of the linked page above.  I changed the Excel font to Simplex and it worked.  However, the symbols appear *very* faint, even when bolded.  Strange.

You should respond to yourself and mark the post as the solution.

Check out how faint the "sub-L" symbols appear in Excel.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Simplex is designed that way, that's why:

Why don't you preview the font in Windows' FONTS folder like above to see more and explore.

Nothing to do with AutoCAD program, it is how the chars look like by the font "you are using".

For example:

Line13 -> Font RomanS (pls see also my example char "R")

Line14 -> Font Calibri (pls see also my example char "R")

If you can find a Windows-Font who have the same char at the same charcode but will displaying the char more bold,

use them! If you can't find it: It is what it is!

For example: You are using RomanS.ttf, take a look in you Font list, is there a RomanS_IV50.ttf too?

This one is more bold.

Hard to see in this screenshot, but it is.
