Hello,
Does anyone know of a font that contains an infinity symbol? Any help
with this would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Symbol, which I think comes pre-installed with Windows,
Macintosh, and X Windows, has an infinity symbol.

The font "Symbol," which is a system font on both Windows and Mac, and
built in to all PostScript printers, has the infinity symbol.

In fact, infinity (ƒ) is part of low ASCII (#B0). So it's present in the
standard encoding of Mac fonts. On an US keyboard, it's located at alt-"5"
(alt-"," on my french one). It's present also in PC fonts, of course, but I
don't know the damn code (check Character Table).
If the character has been designed in the font, it's better to use it
instead of using the one in Symbol. If not, the corresponding infinity
symbol will be automatically substituted from the resident Symbol font of
your computer or of your printer. Note that some of these math characters
may be substituted even if they are designed in the font, because of old
problems with drivers :-(
Hope this helps...

ASCII defines only characters in the 32 - 127 range. And your
`infinity' shows up as `florin' on my screen (which uses the
standard ISO Latin 1 encoding).

Actually, it is not. If you check carefullly, you will see that
`infinity' looks exactly the same in all fonts! This is because
on the Mac, 15 characters in each font are imported from the
Symbol font. So you are much better off using the Symbol font
directly.

No, it isn't, since Windows doesn't `borrow' characters from the
Symbol font when displaying a text font.

Right, except most fonts do not have those 15 math characters
(Lucida Bright being an exception).

Now we are getting somewhere :-) And this is wired into the Mac OS.

If character 131 shows up as as `florin' on your screen, then your
screen does _not_ use standard ISO Latin 1 encoding, but Windows
codepage 1252 (which extends ISO Latin 1). ISO Latin 1 defines only
the 32--127 and 160--255 range.

You are quite right, of course. I forgot about Netscape in Windows
allowing the extra characters in the 128-160 range that they forgot
to put into ISO Latin 1.

The MacOS option to substitute Symbol for font-resident maths is flippable
in Page Setup, depending on the printer in use. Some will normally output
the font's maths, especially if they are QuickDraw; PS printers will tend
to output Symbol unless it's opted off.
I'd think most designers today add the maths, if only because they're there.
