Hello Dave

I am (still) using PCB 1.99j
The font file is located at /usr/lib/X11/pcb/default-font
Put this at th end of the file:

Symbol('@' 12)
(
        SymbolLine(25 35 20 40 8)
        SymbolLine(20 40 5 40 8)
        SymbolLine(5 40 0 35 8)
        SymbolLine(0 35 0 5 8)
        SymbolLine(0 5 5 0 8)
        SymbolLine(5 0 20 0 8)
        SymbolLine(20 0 25 5 8)
        SymbolLine(25 5 25 20 8)
        SymbolLine(25 20 20 25 8)
        SymbolLine(20 25 10 25 8)
        SymbolLine(10 25 10 10 8)
        SymbolLine(10 10 15 10 8)
        SymbolLine(15 10 15 25 8)
)

This give me the output that is attached. Is not the beautiful thing of the world,
but with some imagination, it is an @...

Best regards
