On the Mac it's option-5.

On a Windows machine you should use a Mac.

Surely infinity should transcend any little pc Mac squabbles.


How about ALT+0165

joking, joking, joking. sheesh.

Me too

Very simple: just type : and ) without a space between

For example, on my Flemish Azerty-keyboard infinity can be
obtained by pressing option-?

Actually, Richard, Alt + 0165 in a properly made Windows
font ought to get you the Yen symbol. While the infinity glyph
is part of the MacRoman character set, it is not present in
the 255 glyphs of the Basic Latin and Latin 1 Supplement
character sets used in Windows fonts. This page shows
other characters that differ between the two platforms.

You're right Mike, I should checked more thoroughly and made my post more clear.

I seem to recall that it was quite late at night and I wanted to get my 0.2

Aha .... Symbol.ttf. I had looked at Wingdings 1 through 3
and failed to find the infinity symbol. Good to know where
it can be found.

Of course Chesh has it easily at hand, but then he doesn't
have easy access to the 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 fractions, which I
find infinitely more useful, or the superscript ¹, ² and ³.
