International Character Chart (plus Symbols) and More! at BLAMBOT - FREE Resources

[HayTay]

While Xara Xtreme has a some easily accessible special characters © (Ctrl+Alt+C), ® (Ctrl+Alt+R), ™ (Ctrl+Alt+T), • (Ctrl+Alt+B), and a few others, I sometimes have need for additional characters like ¢, £, º, ¹, ², ³, ±, ¼, ½, ¾, è, é, etc. Traditionally, I open the Windows Character Map application and insert the ones I want or quickly look them up using Google. Unfortunately, that usually means switching applications and losing my flow when typing.

While looking for some cool comic fonts on BLAMBOT.COM, I went exploring and came across 'The BLAMBOT Chart of International Characters'. It's very nicely done and large enough to see from a couple of feet away when pinned on the wall. It has already come in handy several times. As a matter of fact, this post was composed much quicker because of it! And it's FREE!!!

So, if you have need of a nice International Character Chart, you now know of at least one place you can go to get one. It would be really nice printed double sided then laminated.

If you're looking for some cool comic fonts and lettering, BLAMBOT appears to be the place to go. Be sure to check out their slew of Free and Pro Fonts, Articles about Comics, Fonts, & Logos, and nice collection of FREE Vector Dialog Balloons and Vector Comic Book Sound Effects on their Resources page. Altogether a very nice resource for anyone looking to make, or currently making, comic books, comic strips, graphic novels, etc.

Enjoy,
Harry
