Wanted: Freeware windows font for deck of cards & suits
 

I'm looking for a font so I can make notes on my home computer that look similar to our posts here at 2+2. Instead of notating ThQd7s I want to type out T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Can anyone help me with this quest?

Microsoft word has them in the symbols font. If you use the insert symbol menu you can assign each symbol a shortcut or autoreplace key. Not sure if you are looking for more features.

Well, i don't know of any specific fonts, but character map has the suit symbols for nearly every font. On a program like word, go to Insert-Symbol and find the appropriate suit.

you can probably get them through a keystroke too. I don't remember the details, but people used to put wacky stuff into IRC using mIRC and some alt+(3 keypad combo). I'm not a windows guru but I'm sure you could find it on the 'net somewhere, saving having to open that font picker.
