I had no luck with my previous posting for IDL meteorological symbols,
so...

Does anyone have some routines to automatically define characters in a
font file at a programming level ?

For example, instead of manually defining 100 different weather symbols
using efont (aaaargh !), I'd like to do something like :

open_font, 16
sym1 = new_sym
draw,0,0,100,100
draw,10,10,50,40
...
...
save_sym, sym1

sym2=...

close_font

save_font,'/home/junk/myfont'

Thanks in advance,
