Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Wingding Font needed for a distinct Symbol

[question_mark]

Hi All,
I'm using texmaker with MikTex2.9...I've spent so many time in surfing and trying to convert font wingding(taken from my windows font)...My real problem is a bell symbol that is availabe in windingfont (though availabe in pifont as well, but the modelling language of my research is using that particular of wingding font)...This symbol pretty fine with MS word...but now I must have to use it with latex document...I've tried to install package winfonts wingdingbats (\WDGbell) ..but they are no more installable (CCTAN)...font catalogue as well...even tried to use online converter to place the font in MIKTex directory..
I have now currently:
wingding.ttf
Wingdings.afm
Wingings.pfb
Wingings.tfm

My problem is that I don't know where to place these files...and how to run further comands like enc or so...I'm tired, and perhaps surrender, to do more effort and needing help please...
An early help is appreciated...Is there any other package supporting the very same symbol as given in wingding...or please help me to install the font...
Grateful thanks!

Yup solved...

Nice to hear. It would be great if you mark the topic as solved then as asked in the rules. Just edit your first post in this thread (the actual question) and choose the green check-mark symbol as topic icon. We just need this to see open questions at first sight.

And it can't do any harm if you post the complete solution here. So others with the same problem would benefit.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the welcome...My pleasure to help..I was alot distracted, and was going hard way ....here an angel helped me:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/miktex/ ... ic/4667691

I did the following:
- enabled the administror account forweird windows 7 with to get access as admin
- installed 7-zip file manager (to unzip in windows 7)
- created a folder (c:/locale-tex)
-In the root directory from miktex option ( i.e maintenance (admin) >setting), added (c:/locale-tex) and then clicked ok...
-created an empty ttf2pk.cfg(using notepad), in the created folder ((c:/locale-tex)
-copied the file updmap.cfg file from c:/program files(x86)/miktex2.9/miktex/config and pasted it in my folder c:/locale-tex (local version)
-then open the command line in admin mode and switch the default path to get to path c:/locale-tex> here I pasted the commands as was helped (below):
(1)
initexmf --admin --edit-config-file=ttf2p.cfg
and then added following two lines in the opened ttf2p.cfg

map ttfonts.map
map +winfonts_ttf2tfm.map
saved
(2)
initexmf --admin --edit-config-file=updmap.cfg

added the following line at the end of the file updmap.cfg
Map winfonts.map
saved and exit

(3) to update with the changes, finally run this command
initexmf --admin --update-fndb --mkmaps --mklinks --force


Best regards!
