Thanks. The result (which I understand is a combination of a letter
"o" and a dot) is not great. When Times is used (which is my
preference) it looks nothing like a sun symbol, which is not
surprising given how it is assembled. Helvetica is better but still
far from symmetrical, as can be seen on David Fanning's page.
