Font with Windows or Office symbols?

H

Heather Mills

Is there a font that contains all or most of the symbols used in the
various Office applications? I'm looking for the little symbols that
appear on various toolbars like the decimal tab symbol (inverted T
with .), the page view symbol, the borders synmbol, etc.

Windows and the Office programs do use a few fonts, but not for those symbols.

Notably, Marlett (marlet.ttf, which is a hidden file in C:\Windows\Fonts) contains the maximize and restore symbols for the right end of the title bar and the triangular arrows on the scroll bars.
Depending on the settings in the Windows control panel's Display > Appearance dialog, Tahoma or MS Sans Serif may be used for menu labels.
