Hi Nuria,
a couple of symbols you find in the ttfs at:
http://wald.intevation.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/fonts/?root=freezvaut

Maybe some of them are usefull for you.
You can have an overview of them if you are using a font editor like "fontforge".


Some more at: http://www.mapmedia.de/dokumente/umn_signaturen_howto/index.html
(have a look to the bottom of the dokument, there is also a donwload-link).

Regards, Kai
