Geopoetry a TrueType Font

Geopoetry: a TrueType font created by James A. Dockal Blue Ridge Adventure Software

This is a TrueType font that consists of geologic map symbols, mainly structure symbols, for use in ArcView GIS but also usable in text editing programs like Microsoft Word.

Features:

The symbols are all oriented so that the page top direction is the up or north direction. Therefore all symbols are initially pointed to the north.
The center of most of the symbols was designed to be the center of rotation so that when they are rotated their position does not wander from the intended map position.
Arrows that symbolize lineation or fold axis direction rotate from their butt end therefore the origin of the symbol is always at the intended map site.
This font does not contain any geologic age symbols.
