(Important Note: I have only uploaded the glyphs I
have used in practice sentences and sample constructions. Therefore, not every
glyph indicated on these "source" pages is available on my website at
the moment. Instead, you'll probably see a lot of these little guys,
, indicating that the

The weatherlady has a ton of symbols that she slides around her maps.
It's interesting to see that a lot of the traditional weather symbols are
common typographic symbols (such as ** § ,, =), probably because the
primitive computer-generated weather maps of long ago had limited graphic
capabilities, so they had to stick to pre-programmed shapes.
