    I know that this has no relevance to DLP or Harry Potter whatsoever but maybe someone here will know where to go.

    I am working on a new project for an upcoming competition. I won't go into details, basically I have a green blackboard as background and a font in white color is supposed to be used on it.

    Problem is, the font I am using right now doesn't have symbols like {, } and most of the symbols used in mathematics. I need theta, fi, pi, pretty much all of them. I have tried for like an hour with no luck as to find out a font which has those symbols and is chalk-like.

    Anyone got any idea where one would be?

    Thanks for the help. This does have more characters than before but not the mathematical symbols I require, which I am guessing would be impossible to find. Also I have noticed while using this font my app runs really really slow. Like 2 seconds delay time in fading in and out. I switched back to the old font and its done in less than a second. Any idea why that would be?

    I tend to just splash in another font if I'm missing a symbol. *shrug*

    I would do that if I had those symbols ion another font with a chalky feel to it. I have to make it seem like that everything is written on the board with chalk. I actually have to find a way to create graphs and Venn diagrams with the same effect but that will take a long time since I just bought Minecraft.... can't think of anything else for a few days. >_>
