Does anyone know how to create a text font using sysbols (such as a diode system for silkscreening)?

    You cannot change text fonts in Allegro. It is not a general purpose drafting tool. The system uses vectored fonts so exact control over the end product (artwork and/or plotting) can be done.

    To identify diodes, you may want to consider using lines or shapes or a combination of both on your pkg_geo/silk class/sub-class.
