How do I generate a copyright symbol in the font SOP? I'ev tried to cut and paste but the field goes red and refuses the symbol - happy to take any cut and paste type, bit not the copyright.
I've had to model one, but is there a way of doing these alt symbols?

That's OS specific, are you on Windows, Mac or Linux? I know in the Mac it's option + R, but then again you have to llok into your character map for your OS.
Lastly, you could import a vector graphic as curves.

Cheers

try typing \169 to Text parameter of the font SOP
it is dependent on the used font type though so it may be different number
