Title: Display infinity
Post by: ChrisLeslie on November 03, 2006, 06:05:26 AM
Does anybody know of a way to display the infinity symbol in a gui? I can't seem to find a code for it any more. It used to exist in DOS.

Chris,

Have you had a good look through the variety of true type fonts on your machine ? I just had a quick look through the "symbol" Open type font in win2000 and it has a character that looks something like what you are after.

It looks basically like an eight "8" turned 90 degrees.

Ah! I found it on my new computer, its a unicode char. I was looking for it on my old crappy Win95 laptop with no unicode support. ::)

Thanks
