Augh, again how do i use it. I need something a btc/ltc sign that i can add to any text file like in this comment with a couple keystrokes.
@bg002h Downloaded that font too installed and again in word or anyplace else nothing.
Sorry i have never add a font before.

You can put BTC in here by typing "[" btc "]" (no quotes or spaces).

As far as using a font to do so, you're out of luck. There are no bitcoin symbols in Unicode; any font anyone makes that support such symbols will need to be on the viewer's computer for it to render as intended.

The tricks I pull on my site above are done by having the webpage download the font and render it in the browser.

That said, there are so many things in the font to massively improve upon. It's a lot of work...but it's open source and anyone is free to give it a go.

Here's a screen shot of my font above...it's trickier than I thought to move an image from my phone to a web server using ftp, ssh, etc from just my phone...grrr!

Here's the pic:

An ignore heading your way then. If you want avatars to come, then get coding to make a secure avatar system that theymos will like, instead of taking up mobile bandwidth and vertical space.

Easiest to copy and paste from web site (use the bottom section of the site, or copying this *Might* work: Bitcoin ଜ, mBTC ଝ, bits ଞ, Satoshis ଟ). To type directly, on a Mac, enable Unicode hex input and then hold option, type 0 b 1 c, and let go of option and the character at that position in the font you have selected will print.

The character that really lives at U+0B1C is this one: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0b1c/index.htm

The font program I used doesn't allow private use area usage...

Anyhow, no one will see it the way you do unless they install the same font. And when they copy and paste, it won't render right in another font. As far as keyboards and Unicode are concerned, there are no bitcoin symbols.

I modified a font to put in symbols for 4 bitcoin denominations...the rationale behind the symbols is here: http://ž.co/bitcoin.html

The font itself is here: http://ž.co/Coelacanth_btc_at_0b1c.ttf

The original font is here: http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/coelacanth
