Overview: “Symbol MT Normal” font — what it is and where it comes from

  • Name and family: “Symbol MT” (often shown as “Symbol” or “Symbol MT Normal”) is a PostScript/CID-encoded symbol font that maps glyphs to Greek letters, mathematical symbols, and miscellaneous dingbats rather than to typical Latin letters. “MT” historically references Monotype, a major type foundry; “Normal” usually indicates the upright (non-bold, non-italic) style.
  • Typical use: Insert Greek letters, mathematical and technical symbols, bullet/dingbat shapes in documents and desktop publishing. Frequently seen in older Windows and Office documents where authors used this font to display symbols by typing ASCII characters that the font remapped visually to glyphs.
  • Platform distribution: Bundled historically with Microsoft Office and Windows, and also available from Monotype/licensed vendors. Variants and similarly named symbol fonts exist from other foundries.
