The True Type Symbol Font MARVOSYM.TTF is a valuable addition for any office or civil engineering purpose. It contains often-needed but rarely available symbols as the mysterious Estimated-Sign (e-symbol), Fax Machine, Answering Machine, Cellular Phone, Steel Profile Symbols, the original Euro Currency Symbol and lots more. In 2007 the font has been completely redesigned with Fontforge on Ubuntu Linux 7.10. The character encoding was modified to fit the need of MS-Windows users who cannot access symbol fonts correctly if the code area 128-159 is not remapped to certain unicode positions.

I'm trying the product but I did find problems using it with Spanish Keyboard configuration.
Anyway I'll keep trying.

After I downloaded the fonts, it became clear that it did not have or seem to have the fonts that I needed right away. In the meantime, I found that my current software has the fonts that I need, even if it requires a considerable amount of "digging" to find them. I should add that I am not computer proficient, and so this is the reflection of someone who just wants something simple and easily used for my purposes.

Thank you! This font has enabled me to utilize symbols that I have searched for in regular fonts for the past two years but could not find.

Version: 3.10Downloaded quickly, no problems on my I-mac.
I needed it for the European "Estimated" symbol.
Works well and I am sure I will use some of the other symbols in the future.
Thanks very much.

Version: 3.10I tried to install the Marvosym font in my Apples /System folder (alongside my other TTF's), but I've yet to find out how to use the Marvosym in Word for Mac.. Marvosym is in my font-list, but my font jumps back to Times New Roman, upon typing...
! please advise

Version: 3.10Very useful - I used it for the astrological symbols (mars and venus). So good for biologists, too!

Nice font package, particularly for the astronomical symbols. My only request: all the planets are present *except* for the earth (a circle spanned by a cross).

When dealing with engineering, I need to find and use basic electrical symbols. Some are easy to find as graphics but this format is hard to use in manuals. Having these symbols as a font has made using them in basic word processing very convenient.

Very useful font set - has a wealth of useful symbols that I haven't found elsewhere.
Took a while to work out the chart to access the symbols using the Alt-Numberpad keypresses - Go to Martin Vogel's page by following the Publisher link on the right for full instructions how to use the chart.
Must-have font: vielen Dank Martin!
