glyphs

[Mike Southgate]

I'm developing an application that has a large array of shorts. I need to display the values graphically so they can be easily distinguished from each other. I'd like to find a way to create a set of custom glyphs which I could use in an Image. Don't really care if the glyphs are part of a font or not, either would work fine.

Suggestions?

From the many replies you haven't had, it appears nobody knows.
I can't think myself, but there are all sorts of weird glyphs hiding in the depths of Unicode. Try writing from India, Java, or Ethiopia, which should all be in Unicode and look different from what we are used to in English. And they can easily be shown by using a cast to a char.
But beware: there are gaps in Unicode; they don't use all 65536 numbers available. Also the char type is equivalent to an unsigned short.
