One way is to use a font such as Wingdings - it has a couple - in the Text Generator, then you can colour, size and place them as required.

Are you sure, because i searched through the font and culdn't find one.

do a search on this board. I remember somebody doing this once.....I think it was here. They just used a certain font and did it in the text generator.


Have you ever worked with the Windows character map?

It is there - "Wingdings" - just done it in Vegas Movie Studio.

I'll email you where it is - yeah?

you could do it with generated media, maybe a few layers. :)

of course using an image editor (even MS paint) would be the easiest.

I tried pasting the two in Wingdings in my earlier post, but of course they got changed to this forum's default font, Arial, and finished up looking like this:

° ±

but, thinking about it, if you paste from here into a Text Generator then change the font back to Wingdings they should become crosshairs again (just tried it - it works).

(That's Wingdings, not Wingdings 2 or Wingdings 3)

I have one version of a crosshair I made for a logo I was working on but I decided against it. May not be what you want as it has no mil dots etc.... If you want, take a look at it here and copy if you like.

Thanks for all the help, but I made my own on paint. I used a green background then used chromakey in Vegas.
