basic shapes

[chickie1]

is there a font out there that has a hexagon,pentigon etc etc

WE_Simple_Shapes has these - I am not sure where I got it but it is out there somewhere.

Cheers,

is that a software? a font?
I am trying to build a molecule structure in swish and its really hard to get a hexagon and what is called a benzene and cyclopentane shapes
could really use some assistance.

It is a font. I would also suggest a drawing program like XaraX, Paint Shop Pro or Zoner Draw. I have made you a hexagon and a pentagon and they are at http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/shapes.zip. The shapes are in wmf format and scale nicely in Swish.

(If you are really into molecules you might wish to visit http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/F...s/newlist.html - there are instructions there for downloading the Chime plug-in required for viewing and interacting with 3D molecules on the web, a tutorial I wrote on using Chime, and several hundred molecules from my collection of several thousand.)

Try http://www.dingbatpages.com/arrows/arrows02.html and look at the simple shapes font.

thanks
I could not get the zip, but the simple shapes fonts will work. I plan to re-create a molecule structure for one of the departments intranet sites.

Try the shapes again - I had put a period at the end of the URL and forgot to put the space before the period.
